It is suitable for black-box testing of target + systems of any type (i.e. not necessarily implemented in Erlang), + as well as for white-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs. + Black-box testing is performed via standard O&M + interfaces (such as SNMP, HTTP, Corba, Telnet, etc) and, + if required, via user specific interfaces (often called test + ports). White-box testing of Erlang/OTP programs is easily + accomplished by calling the target API functions directly + from the test case functions. Common Test also integrates + usage of the OTP cover tool for code coverage analysis of + Erlang/OTP programs.</p> + + <p>Common Test executes test suite programs automatically, + without operator interaction. Test progress and results is + printed to logs on HTML format, easily browsed with a standard + web browser. Common Test also sends notifications about progress + and results via an OTP event manager to event handlers plugged + in to the system. This way users can integrate their own + programs for e.g. logging, database storing or supervision with + Common Test.</p> + + <p>Common Test provides libraries that contain useful support + functions to fill various testing needs and requirements. + There is for example support for flexible test declarations + by means of so called test specifications. There is also support + for central configuration and control of multiple + independent test sessions (towards different target systems) + running in parallel.</p> + + <p>Common Test is implemented as a framework based on the OTP Test + Server application.</p> + </description> + + <xi:include href="basics_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="install_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="write_test_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="test_structure_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="example_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="run_test_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="config_file_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="cover_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="ct_master_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="event_handler_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="dependencies_chapter.xml"/> + <xi:include href="why_test_chapter.xml"/> +</part> + + + + |
