Framework

• 2001.10.01 - version 1.05

Fixed Bugs (SourceForge Bug Tracker Ids)

• - There was an error, if the parameters of failNotEquals() method of Assert class were logicals (v1.05)
• - IDSC: PM Error Message Dispatching, after running the second testsuite and click to the tab of the testhierarchy view tabpage.

Solution was:
::oDlg:oHTselected:=NIL
::oDlg:aFLselected:={1}
before fill the tree for the second testsuite.

• - data type mismatch :setdata()

oHtSelected variable initialize with NIL not an empty array

• - the name of the test method must be exact equal, when rerun individual testmethod

Extending XbUnit

• TestDecorator.prg - A decorator for Test. You can use it as the base class for implementing decorators to extend test cases.
• RepeatedTest.prg -  A decorator that runs a test repeatedly.
• ActiveTestSuite.prg - A TestSuite which runs each test in a separate thread and waits until they are all terminated.
• TestSetup.prg - A Decorator to set up and tear down additional fixture state. Subclass TestSetup and insert it into your tests when you want to set up additional state once before the tests are run.
