Hi,
in phpunit there's a @dataProvider annotation, so one method returns a
several data sets for a test method. I'm not sure that's the best design
but it's nice to have one unit test result per data set. See
http://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html#writing-tests-for-phpunit.data-providers
Translating the example to Pharo that should give something like:
TestCase subclass: #DataTest
DataTest>>testAdd: a to: b shouldAnswer: c
<dataProvider: #provider>
self assert: c equals: a + b
DataTest>>provider
^ { {0. 0. 0}.
{1. 0. 1}.
{0. 1. 1}.
{1. 2. 3} }
It may not be to difficult to implement in SUnit. What do you think about
this ?
