I would put the code to iterate the hash inside your test_* function.
Simply make the first statement load your data ...
then iterate over a child method.
class MultiAddressTest < Test::Unit::Testcase
def setup
@testSite = "http://www.mapquest.com";
@ie = IE.new @testSite
# default behavior, not necessary =>@ie.set_fast_speed
# wrap in one call to IE.new => @ie.goto(@testSite)
end
def teardown
@ie.close
sleep 5
end
def validate_direct( street, zip )
@ie.text_field( :name, "address" ).set street
@ie.text_field( :name, "zipcode" ).set zip
@ie.button( :value, "Get Directions" ).click
# Do Assertions to validate assumptions about web page displayed after click
end
def test_directions
load "input.rb"
$plan.each { |curr|
validate_direct curr[ "street" ], curr[ "zip" ]
end
end
end
... should work. I took out your heavy use of global variables ...
not necessary and generally considered "error prone".
