TeRA - A TestRunner Application for ooRexxUnit

Publication: Chapter in book/Conference proceedingContribution to conference proceedings

Abstract

At the 2006 International Rexx symposium the ooRexxUnit framework was introduced for ooRexx, which allows to create test units for ooRexx public routines and public classes. ooRexxUnit comes with a simple, command line based test runner which simply informs the user about the number of tests run, how many assertions were successful and how many failed, and how many errors have occurred while conducting the tests.
Throughout 2006 a student at the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Rainer Kegel, has been learning ooRexx, ooRexxUnit, DHTML, XML and XSLT to create a set of programs which allows for employing a GUI based test runner application for ooRexxUnit.
This talk gives an overview of the ooRexxUnit testing framework, the architecture of "TeRA" and then discusses and demonstrates various features of it, including the analysis and presentation of the comparison of different test runs at different times. This application should ease the running of ooRexxUnit tests and studying their results, no matter how many test units and how many test runs have to be compared over time.
