TestingCode

It is a javascript library to support unity tests. It was made like that way to improve flexibility to create and run tests. It, firstly, run at node.js that has a portable version. Link to portable node.js: http://imsky.co/files/nodejs-0.10.0.zip Once that perform the download, it is enough put the directory where the files was extracted in enviroment variable PATH of operational system.

How to use

Lets start with that basic example.

(function () {
  
  var StringType = typeof '', NumberType = typeof 1, UndefinedType = typeof undefined, ObjectType = typeof {},
  	TestingCode = require('./TestingCode'), Math = {
			sum: function(op1, op2) {
				if(typeof op1!==NumberType)
					throw new Error('The first operator is not a number');
				if(typeof op2!==NumberType)
					throw new Error('The second operator is not a number');
				return op1 + op2;
			}
		};
	
	var MathTests = TestingCode.createTestClass({
		settings:{
			name:'MathTests'
		},
		tests: {
			when_sum_1_with_1_must_has_2_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([2, Math.sum(1,1)], 'The sum value of 1 + 1 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_2_with_2_must_has_4_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([4, Math.sum(2,2)], 'The sum value of 2 + 2 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_1_with_4_must_has_5_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([5, Math.sum(1)], 'The sum value of 1 + 4 was not as expected.');
			}
		}
	});
	var math = new MathTests();
	TestingCode.run([math]);
  
})();

Through of TestingCode class it is possible makes test classes and run it. In the case above, we have a class Math that contains a function "sum", which must be tested.

To create a test class

The test class may be created through the calling TestingCode.createTestClass(options);, where options can be an object like that:

var options = {
  settings:{
		name:'TestingClass', //Name of test class to show in a console output 
		setup:function(context){}, //Function that will be executed once by class at first
		finalize:function(context){}, //Function that will be executed once by class at end
		beforeEveryTest:function(context){}, //Function that will be executed once by test method at first
		afterEveryTest:function(context){} //Function that will be executed once by test method at end
	},
	args:{
    //Some argument that will be used by test methods
    //May be accessed by context, like context.args.variable_name_here
  },
	asserts:{
		puts:function(message, methodName, className){
			message+='\n['+className;
			if (typeof methodName!==null&&typeof methodName!==UndefinedType)
				message+='.'+methodName;
			message+=']';
			TestingCode.write(message,'\n\n');
		},
		handleException:function(e){
			if (e instanceof TestingCode.asserts.AssertFailException){
				e.handleException();
			}else{
				this.fail(e.message);
				throw new TestingCode.asserts.AssertFailException(e.message, TestingCode.asserts.AssertFailLevel.ErrorUncatched);
			}
		}
	},
  tests:{
    //Test methods must be putted here
  }
}; 

So, lets improve the old example. Below, we are going to execute 2 test classes and the last one has an implementation of setup function to initialize the argument 'operator1'. Also, it will put 2 sentences in console, one when perform setup and the other when perform finalize.

(function () {
  
  var StringType = typeof '', NumberType = typeof 1, UndefinedType = typeof undefined, ObjectType = typeof {},
  	TestingCode = require('./TestingCode'), Math = {
			sum: function(op1, op2) {
				if(typeof op1!==NumberType)
					throw new Error('The first operator is not a number');
				if(typeof op2!==NumberType)
					throw new Error('The second operator is not a number');
				return op1 + op2;
			}
		};
	
	var math2, MathTests2, math, MathTests = TestingCode.createTestClass({
		settings:{
			name:'MathTests'
		},
		tests: {
			when_sum_1_with_1_must_has_2_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([2, Math.sum(1,1)], 'The sum value of 1 + 1 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_2_with_2_must_has_4_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([4, Math.sum(2,2)], 'The sum value of 2 + 2 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_1_with_4_must_has_5_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([5, Math.sum(1)], 'The sum value of 1 + 4 was not as expected.');
			}
		}
	});
	math = new MathTests();
	
	MathTests2 = TestingCode.createTestClass({
		settings:{
			name:'MathTests2',
			setup:function(context){ console.log('Hello World First\n\n'); context.args.operator1 = 2; }, //Function that will be executed once by class at first
			finalize:function(context){ console.log('Hello World Second\n\n'); } //Function that will be executed once by class at end
		},
		args:{
		  //Some argument that will be used by test methods
		  //May be accessed by context, like context.args.variable_name_here
		  operator1:0
		},
		tests: {
			when_sum_2_with_1_must_has_3_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([3, Math.sum(context.args.operator1,1)], 'The sum value of 2 + 1 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_2_with_2_must_has_4_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([4, Math.sum(context.args.operator1,2)], 'The sum value of 2 + 2 was not as expected.');
			},
			when_sum_2_with_4_must_has_6_as_result:function(context){
				context.asserts.assertEquals([6, Math.sum(context.args.operator1)], 'The sum value of 2 + 4 was not as expected.');
			}
		}
	});
	math2 = new MathTests2();
	
	TestingCode.run([math, math2]);
  
})();

So, that is it! Easy like that.
