Enterprise Architect supports
five levels of testing:
Enterprise Architect provides
support for integrating testing procedures with
the base model. Each element supports four test
types and general searching and reporting on tests
status.
Testing Basics
Different elements support testing at
different levels. For example, a Use Case is a
good element to apply a System Test to, while a
Unit Test might be applied at the Class level.
Introduction to Testing in
Enterprise Architect
Enterprise Architect
provides support for testing by allowing you to
create test scripts against elements in the
modeling environment. Typically you would create
Unit tests against things that are being built,
such as classes and components. You create
Integration tests to test how components work
together, System tests to ensure the system meets
business needs, Acceptance tests to test user
satisfaction with the system and Scenario tests to
test the end to end business suitability and
functionality of the application
To access the test dialog, follow
the steps below:
- Open the Test Cases docked
window by selecting the View | Other Windows |
Testing menu item.
- Open the diagram that holds
the element you want to view the test script
for.
- Select the element and all
of the test scripts for that element will appear
in the Test Cases docked window.
The
Testing Workspace
The Test Cases docking window
provides a quick and convenient method of working
with element tests. When you select an element in
a diagram or in the Project Browser, if the
Testing Workspace is visible, the lists of tests
for that element are loaded ready for modification
or addition.
Double clicking on a line item
will bring up the Test dialog, so the details can
be edited. You can also delete the currently
selected test.
There are five tabs along the
base of the docking window - one for each of the
following types of testing:
The
Test Details Dialog
The Test Details dialog is
shown when you use the Testing workspace to add or
modify test cases. You can add multiple test cases
in one batch by using the Apply, Save and New
buttons.
