Hi, All!
Does anybody use XP Metodology such as unit testing in BAAN?
What are the results?
Thanks

We are not using XP practices complete. but we have:

some emulation of exceptions
unit testing framework


the last is in early stage of implementation.

It works for simple cases, but database handling is not implemented fully because of hi complexity of our structures.

Now we thinking about it

For those wondering what this is about:

eXtreme Programming (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=extreme+programming)

Thanks.

To maxbel:
What is the base concept you are thinking
1. Include some test code in scripts?
2. Use OLE, AFS, dll_load?
3. Maybe use Database procedures, functions

The main problem with me is any solution to have all kind of tests (unit test is preferable) in BAAN to be automated.

But you are right beginning with simple tests. Thank you. So I'll think too :)

unit test framework is represented by two tables : tests and tests categories.

there is a test dll in which all tested dlls are enumerated:


|
|@created

function extern allTests(){
LIB(tfzztdllalltst)
LIB(tfzzzdll000m00)
LIB(tfzzzdll000m01)
LIB(tfzzzdll039m01)
} |allTests


each dll has an external function named testBundle, which fills tables with test descriptions. there are macros for easily form this function for example:


#include "itfzzttest"
startTests
| test category
TCAT("Common", "Utilities")
| Individual tests
test(pos.strt)
test(startsWith)
test(rub2str)
TCAT_END
endTests
...

function extern testStartsWith(){
testEqu(startsWith("123456", "123"), true)
testEqu(startsWith("1", "1"), true)
testEqu(startsWith("123", ""), true)
} |testStartsWith

we also thinking about testing sessions using function server

there is some encludes and dlls from this task.


sorry, comments are mainly russian and oriented to our Javadoc analog:

Thank you, maxbel
