I'm new to Cactus and I have two basic questions? 1) Is it permissible/advisable to call another "helper" method from your testXXX() method. I know there is setUp() and begin() but this is basically a situation where I have 3 related testXXX() methods but I need to set the request parameter differently depending on each of the cases.
2) I'm not sure if this is appropriate but basically I have a series of reports that my app generates and I'm trying to use cactus to generate each of them. I could test the basic functionality of each step with a single example but sometimes we run into problems where a specific report is not available because the table in the DB was changed or a stored procedure was removed, etc. Is it appropriate to use cactus for this sort of thing? TIA, - sean
