Class Examples

java.lang.Object
  testing.Examples

Direct Known Subclasses:

FooExamples

public class Examples
extends java.lang.Object

The parent of Example/Test classes.

Use of the Examples Class

In order to use the Examples class, you simply import it, and create your own examples class that extends Examples, and insert the following stub method at the top:

        public static void main(String[] args){ test(); }
    

When you run your examples class in Eclipse, this method will start the create an instance of your examples class, print it, and run any test methods (methods who's names begin with test). The resulting report can be used to verify that your tests pass, or see where any checkExpects failed.

In order to test specific classes and methods, you can use the appropriate checkExpect methods. Specially named test method i.e., testFoo return a number of checkExpects combined with && (anded together).

Below is a sample, which demonstrates most of the testing features:

     import testing.Examples;
     
     public class FooExamples extends Examples{
         public static void main(String[] args){ test(); }
         
         Foo f1 = new Foo("hello");
         Foo f2 = new Foo("Jimmy");
         Bar b1 = new Bar(f1);
         Bar b2 = new Bar(f2);
         
         boolean testFoo(){
             return (checkExpect(f1.s, "hello") &&
                     checkExpect(f2, new Foo("Jimmy")) &&
                     checkExpect(f2.i, 5));
         }
         boolean testBar(){
             return (checkExpect(b1.getFoo().s, "hello") &&
                     checkExpect(b2.getFoo(), new Foo("Jimmy")) &&
                     checkExpect(b2.getFoo().i, 5));
         }
     }
     
     class Foo{
         int i = 5;
         String s;
         Foo(String s){
             this.s = s;
         }
     }
     
     class Bar{
         Foo f;
         Bar(Foo f){
             this.f = f;
         }
         Foo getFoo(){ return f; }
     }
