It's a difference of focus. Much like conventional unit tests, LUX is designed to validate the logic of your immediate custom actions. It's not really designed to validate your installer overall. Those would be validation tests, not unit tests anyway.
So, the focus is much narrower. That being said, the logic of the immediate custom actions is critical to the installer being able to function in those scenarios, but LUX is not designed to directly test them. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: kirannhegde [mailto:kirann.he...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 2:30 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hello - are you aware of test mutations?Kindly assist me with some answers Hello John, Thanks for the response. Couple of other questions though: -How do you test the entries in AppSearch, RegLocator etc tables i.e the data contained in standard tables in windows installer? The msi built using Lux does not contain so many standard actions required to process such tables. -Most of my msi's carry out major upgrades and i need to even test this scenario. How do i do that as the installer built using Lux does not contain the standard actions and standard tables(such as Upgrade table etc)? I guess i inserted Upgrade table entries in the test fragement, however that did not seem to help.
