Test Framework

In order to manage different kind of tests, ODABA provides a command line test framework combined with a TestBrowser. TestBrowser is a GUI tool based on a data stored in the file system in order to run an independent external test frame work.

The interface to the test frame work is a work area directory containing test data and test procedures. Test data and test procedures are copies from test suites and test cases represented as directories in the file system. TestBrowser does not care about content (test case description, test data, procedures etc.) but provides fast access to test resources, prepares test runs and registers results for creating test logs and protocols.

For executing tests, any test framework with a command shell interface may be used. The TestBrowser delivery comes up with a simple command shell based test framework, that might be used for unit tests as well as for component or system tests.
