The Tcases command line interface is implemented using a Java API. You can use the same API to do all of the same things in your own Java program, including creating a system input definition, generating test cases, and reading or writing Tcases documents.
The tcases-lib JAR contains all of the core
classes needed to create a system input definition. You can use methods from the
SystemInputs class for a fluent interface to
the various builder classes needed to construct a complete SystemInputDef.
For a complete example, see the SystemInputBuilderTest.
The tcases-lib JAR all contains all of the interfaces needed to
generate a system test definition
that contains all of the test cases for a system input definition.
To generate test cases, use the Tcases class. Tcases defines
several variations on the
getTests
method perform this task. The primary input parameter is the SystemInputDef but additional parameters define optional helper objects.
For these, you can use a null value to apply a default value.
For an example, see the SystemInputBuilderTest.
For example, Tcases:getTests accepts a generator definition
object to define the required coverage for test cases.
You can use methods from the Generators class for a
fluent interface to the various builder classes needed to construct a generator definition.
For a complete example, see the GeneratorsTest.
To run the Tcases Reducer,
use the Reducer class.
Reducer defines several variations on the
reduce
method to perform this task.
The tcases-io JAR contains classes needed to handle
the following types of Tcases documents.
-
System input definition
-
Generator definition
-
System test definition
