Extend Testing Frameworks - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Main Content

Customize the testing environment; author constraints, diagnostics, fixtures, and plugins

The MATLAB® unit testing framework provides test tool authors the ability to customize the testing environment. You can extend test writing through custom constraints, diagnostics, and fixtures, and extend test running and result reporting through custom plugins for the test runner.

Topics

Constraints

• Create Custom Constraint
  Create a custom constraint to determine if a given value is the same size as an expected value.
• Create Custom Boolean Constraint
  Create a custom Boolean constraint to determine if a given value is the same size as an expected value.

Fixtures

• Create Basic Custom Fixture
  Create a basic custom fixture that changes the display format to hexadecimal representation.
• Create Advanced Custom Fixture
  Create a configurable fixture that changes the output display format for numeric values.

Plugins

• Write Plugins to Extend TestRunner
  Use the TestRunnerPlugin class to extend the test runner. You can implement methods to extend the creation, setup, running, and teardown of tests or test fixtures.
• Create Custom Plugin
  Create a custom plugin that counts the number of passing and failing assertions.
• Run Tests in Parallel with Custom Plugin
  Create a custom plugin that counts the number of passing and failing assertions when tests run in parallel.
• Write Plugin to Add Data to Test Results
  Create a plugin that adds the actual and expected values in an assertion to the TestResult object.
• Write Plugin to Save Diagnostic Details
  This example shows how to create a custom plugin to save diagnostic details. The plugin listens for test failures and saves diagnostic information so you can access it after the framework completes the tests.
• Plugin to Generate Custom Test Output Format
  Create a plugin that uses a custom format to write finalized test results to an output stream.
