Overview

A simple extension to Ruby's Test::Unit class that provides suite-level setup/teardown methods.

If test suite functionality is desired within a script, then require 'test/unit' before requiring 'tools.rb'. This will cause the following class, MyTestSuite, to be defined.

The user's test script can define subclasses of this, and declare test methods with the name 'test_xxxx', where xxxx is lexicographically between 01 and zz.

There are two levels of setup/teardown called : suite level, and method level. For example, if the user's test class performs two tests:

def test_b ... end def test_c ... end

Then the test framework will make these calls:

suite_setup

method_setup
test_b
method_teardown

method_setup
test_c
method_teardown

suite_teardown

Notes

  1. The usual setup / teardown methods should NOT be overridden; instead, use the method_xxx alternatives.

  2. The base class implementations of method_/suite_xxx do nothing.

  3. The number of test cases reported may be higher than you expect, since there are additional test methods defined by the TestSuite class to implement the suite setup / teardown functionality.

  4. Avoid naming test methods that fall outside of test_01 ... test_zz.
