Expecco Reflection Library
Introduction
The Reflection Library contains building blocks to automate expecco itself. Its main use is to automatically generate test suites or libraries. For example, to import specifications in a textual format, a database or a QM-system and generate test skeletons or concrete action blocks and/or test suites.
Opening/Closing/Controlling an Expecco Window
These include blocks to simulate various user actions, either towards the currently running expecco application, or to a secondary expecco window.
Project Manipulation
Includes blocks to create test suites, to manipulate environments (create/modify variables), and to load and save test suite files (".ets"-files).
Tree Manipulation
Includes blocks to create actions, datatypes, attachments and folders in a project's item tree.
Diagram Editing
Includes blocks to create activity diagrams, to add steps and to connect pins.
Text Editing
These operate on the currently running expecco, and are mostly useful for code-generation utilities, which can be bound to user-defined menu items.
Execution
This allows for a testplan to be executed automatically, under control of another activity.
Reporting
Actions to generate test reports.
