Method: Test::Unit::TestCase.test

Defined in:
lib/test/unit/testcase.rb

.test(*test_description_or_targets, &block) ⇒ Object

Defines a test in declarative syntax or marks following method as a test method.

In declarative syntax usage, the following two test definitions are the almost same:

description "register user"
def test_register_user
  ...
end

test "register user" do
  ...
end

In test method mark usage, the “my_test_method” is treated as a test method:

test
def my_test_method
  assert_equal("call me", ...)
end
