The Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework uses the following elements:
- mfunit.cpy
- The call prototyping copybook used for the entry points to your test setups, test cases, and test teardowns.
- mfunit_prototypes.cpy
- The call prototyping copybook used for the calls to the test assertion library routines (MFU_ASSERT_FAIL, MFUMSG, MFU_ASSERT_FAIL_Z, and MFUMSGZ).
- Test assertions
-
The true/false testing logic within a test case. This is usually followed by a call to one of the library routines that enables you to record any outcome within the test results.
- Test case
- The code that forms a single test.
- Test fixture
- All requisites to run a test:
- The test case setup
- The test case
- The test case teardown
Note: The setup and tear-down elements are optional.
- Test results formatter
- The generation of results after or during the test run. Within the Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework, this can be configured using additional parameters to the test runner; see
Test Runner Syntax Options.
- Test runner
-
The name of the executable that will run the test suite, and then produce the test results:
- mfurun
