RE: [Cppunit-devel] standard way to handle test data

[Moran Ben-D. <mbe...@ii...>]

TestContext to me would be a class that would be passed to Tests each time
they are run.  The Test receiving the context would use it to extract data
necessary for it's test.
 
In my search for separating the data (e.g. primary keys of rows being pulled
from the database, etc.) from my Test Fixture code.. I came accross this:
 
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TestDriver <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TestDriver> 
 
This page mentions the TestContext class for encapsulating the data required
by a test.. I'm not 100% clear on how I'd like to data-drive my TestFixtures
however, I know I need to as currently I'm hardcoding the, for example,
database primary keys I'm trying to pull from the db to test my querying
code.
 
Forgive my ignorance.. but are you on the cppunit development team?

Could you explain shortly what is that TextContext class ? 
 
Recently, I was thinking about passing the TestResult to the setUp() and
tearDown() methods. I can be done without too much trouble, but I still
haven't come up with some really good reason (might change though).

Hi. 

I'm looking for a standard way for making my TestFixtures data driven.  I've
read some suggestions about a TextContext class and seen JTestCase (
http://jtestcase.sourceforge.net/ <http://jtestcase.sourceforge.net/> )..
Rather than write my own implemention of one or more of these concepts for
CppUnit, I'd rather use a popular implemention.  Is there one?

Thanks, 
Moran
