Subject: frysk.expunit, Expect like functionality within JUnit
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:30:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45C0E033.2060808@redhat.com> (raw)
Hello,
The Expect program lets the user interact with a console based program,
sending it input and checking its output. The existing testing
framework dejagnu builds on expect.
The package frysk.expunit provides functionality similar to Expect, but
in a way that integrates into the JUnit framework. By doing this,
developers:
-> need only learn JUnit, and this extension, and not an entirely new
language (tcl/tk) and test framework (dejagnu)
-> are able to implement tests in a similar consistent manner, in
particular, first problem indicates failure - frameworks such as dejagnu
have a very different testing model, allowing a failing test to bumble
on regardless
With this in place I'll look at a few of the existing dejagnu tests, see
how well they translate, and how workable the existing interfaces are.
See
http://sourceware.org/frysk/javadoc/public/frysk/expunit/package-summary.html
for a simple example. Critic, expecially of the workability of the
interfaces, most welcome.
Andrew
PS: This proved to be a good way of expanding the testing of
frysk.sys.PseudoTerminal
