Introduction[Bearbeiten]

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.

For more information, please refer to the documentation and examples inside the library.

Typical Uses[Bearbeiten]

The reflection library can be used to:

  • automatically generate testsuites from textual descriptions
  • automatically generate datatypes (e.g. from textual descriptions)
  • merge, filter testsuites
  • bulk renaming, bulk annotating of elements in a number of suites
  • extraction of annotations from a number of suites

Browser Manipulation[Bearbeiten]

These include blocks to simulate various user actions, either towards the currently running expecco application, or to a secondary expecco window. For example, to open, close expecco windows, to switch to particular tabs, or to change the selection in the item tree.

Project Manipulation[Bearbeiten]

Includes blocks to create test suites, to manipulate environments (create/modify variables), and to load and save test suite files (".ets"-files). There are both blocks which operate on a browser window, and blocks which operate on a project object itself (i.e. without a need for a browser window).

Tree Manipulation[Bearbeiten]

Includes blocks to create actions, datatypes, attachments and folders in a project's item tree.

Diagram Editing[Bearbeiten]

Includes blocks to create activity diagrams, to add steps and to connect pins.

Text Editing[Bearbeiten]

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[Bearbeiten]

This allows for a testplan to be executed automatically, under control of another activity.

Reporting[Bearbeiten]

Actions to generate test reports.
