Test programs can contain one or more test cases, and each test case can have a number of elements to it. These elements are coded as specific entry points that the
Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework can recognize.
The
Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework uses a number of call prototypes to help construct the entry point names. These prototypes are located in the
mfunit.cpy copybook, which is available from the
cpylib directory of your product installation directory.
Note: If you are unable to use the copybook, due to its use of level-78 items, which are not supported with mainframe dialects, you must specify the following entry point names:
| Element
|
Entry point
|
| test setup
|
MFUS_test_case_name
|
| test metadata setup
|
MFUM_test_case_name
|
| test case
|
MFUT_test_case_name
|
| test teardown
|
MFUE_test_case_name
|
The main elements are:
- The test setup
- Any pre-requisite conditions that need to be satisfied before the test case is run can be set up in this section. For example, if the test case requires that a data file already exists or is open ready for input, you can code such things in this section. This section is optional.
...
entry MFU-TC-SETUP-PREFIX & "MyTestCase"
*>initial setup code goes here
goback
...
-
Tip: Use the
snippet
testup to enter the stub code for a test setup.
- The test metadata setup
- There are a number of metadata details that you add directly through your source code, such as test description and test timeout; see
Using Dynamic Metadata. This section is optional.
...
entry MFU-TC-METADATA-SETUP-PREFIX & "MyTestCase"
*>initial metadata setup code goes here
goback
...
-
Tip: Use the
snippet
testdata to enter the stub code for adding test metadata.
- The test case
- This section contains the actual testing logic and test assertions.
...
entry MFU-TC-PREFIX & "MyTestCase"
*>test case code goes here
goback
...
-
Tip: Use the
snippet
testcase to enter the stub code for a test case.
- The test teardown
- This section enables you to tidy up the environment, such as releasing or closing resources, after the test has been run. This may be critical if you run multiple test cases within a test suite. This section is optional.
...
entry MFU-TC-TEARDOWN-PREFIX & "MyTestCase"
*>clean-up code goes here
goback
...
-
Tip: Use the
snippet
testdown to enter the stub code for a test teardown.
Test cases cannot share setups or teardowns; you must code a separate setup or teardown for each test case that requires one.
The sections relating to a test case can appear in your code in any order, but are run in the order shown here.
