Hi all
Just to notify a new enhancement to review in the PharoInbox.
SLICE-Issue338-SUnitHistoryAndIcons-simon_denier.2
Short doc:
Add:
- support history for test runs as well as progression filter to show
test in progression, regression
- support icons in OB to show the current state of a test: passed,
failed, progressed, regressed...
History support:
- whenever some test cases run from the TestRunner, their results are
stored in a class side variable TestResult class>>History
- contextual menu for history in TestRunner>>error pane:
1) History: access submenu to TestRunner instance history: can save
and show progress between results ran in the same TestRunner; lost
when this particular instance of TestRunner is closed
2) Store results as progress reference: create/update a lastStoredRun
method on the class side of each TestCase which have just been run,
containing the results
3) Show progress: make a diff between the last run and the
lastStoredRun, showing progress or regress in tests (new passed, new
failures, new errors)
The idea is that whenever you are satisfied with the current results
of some of your tests, you can save this state as a reference point
with the 'Store results...' action.
This reference point can be compared with subsequent test results to
show your progression or regression.
Test results are stored in a class side variable some are kept local
to your image. Reference results are stored in a special method for
each TestCase, so that they are saved with their package and can be
used as a common reference for package developers. So a good practice
is to store the latest test results as reference before committing
your changes.
Icons support:
OB Package browser now has icons for test methods in TestCase
subclasses:
- green circle: test has passed in the last run
- red circle: test has failed
- half green/half red circle: state unknown, test has no history or
test has changed since last run
- (no icon): test has raised an error
- upside green arrow: test has progressed since last reference run
- downside blue triangle: test has regressed since last reference run
A test is in progression if it goes from error or failure to passed
state.
A test is in regression if it goes from passed to error or failure
state.
The last two icons have other meanings with methods not related to
test, so we should change them whenever someone has better icons.
