Iteration table

Tmar tests are based on iterations.

Basically an iteration is a group of values and expected results for a test case.

The simplest way to define iterations is to use a sequence table where each line of the sequence table is an iteration.

 

Example :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sequence table syntax :

 

• A sequence table is introduce by the /sequence statement

• following by a table header with column names, used as fields name for each iteration

  • Column header start with a '[' and each column are separate by a '|'

  • When a column name is followed by a '?' Tmar will compare the value of this column value with the value returned by the test 

    • ​Note : If there is no value in the column, Tmar will display the value returned by the test

  • Camel case convention is applied when fields are given to the test method, eg :

    • Number 1 => number1

    • First name => firstName

 

 

• Once header is defined, texts and iteration lines can be mixed, eg :

 

 

A simple Tmar description file with a sequence table

Iteration inline

To be even more expressive Tmar supports the /inline statement.

It allows to spread the fields of an iteration in a text bloc

 

Note : Sequence inline and sequence in tabulation can be freely mixed in the same description

 

Sequence inline syntax :

 

• As sequence table, sequence inline is introduce by the /sequence statement and the header definition (see Iteration table)

• Each iteration is introduce by the /inline satement

• Inline bloc may be closed by the optional /endInline statement

  • This statement is optional as Inline bloc are implicitly closed by any new Tmar statement
    ( /inline, /sequence...). However it's some times usefull to be able to start a new text after an inline definition

• Values are spread in text between [ ] in the same order than header

  • If a different order is needed it's possible to redefine the sequence header as many times as necessary

• Inline syntax also supports text fields value longer than one line of text using “”” “””
