Creating Test Cases

A unit test, in the context of the Unit Test framework, includes test cases, how
test cases are staged with data, and the organization of test cases. A test case is a
class that extends the SysTestCase class. You can add test methods to test each
requirement of the feature code.
The following example is of how to create a test case. In this example you will be
testing an existing system class, so the results should be successful. You will test
the SysDictTable class, to make sure its methods to return the table name and
group for a given table name, are correct. The following is the test case class
declaration.

[SysTestTargetAttribute('SysDictTable', UtilElementType::Class)] class SysDictTableTest extends SysTestCase { SysDictTable sysDictTable; }

Note the attribute used on the class. The SysTestTargetAttribute attribute is
attached to the test case to specify which element is being tested. In this case, it is
the SysDictTable class being tested. There are a number of predefined attributes
available in the Unit Test framework:

Attribute	Description	Applied to
SysTestMethodAttribute	Indicates that a method is a unit test.	Method
SysTestCheckInAttribute	Indicates the test is a check-in unit test. A check-in test is run when checking in code to a version control system to ensure a proper level of quality.	Method or Class
SysTestNonCheckInAttribute	Indicates the test is not a check-in test.	Method

SysTestTargetAttribute	Indicates the application object that is being tested by the case. This attribute takes two parameters: Name of element, and UtilElementType value.	Class
SysTestInactiveTestAttribute	Indicates the class or method is inactive.	Method

Another variable has been created in the ClassDeclaration, of the type of the class
being tested.
