[Cppunit-devel] Parameterizing tests by using XML

[Steffen H. <ste...@we...>]

Hello,

I have looked over CppUnit the last time to find a way making tests more flexible by parameterizing them.
The idea is to place input parameters and corresponding expected values in a XML file. 
That forces to parse the incoming XML file.
Having a common interface that gives the possibility to parse the XML file is our way to do so.
At the moment I don`t really know how this interface should look and which methods it should provide.

My questions about this are:
1. What do you think about an interface with the possibility to use different parsers?

2. Does such an interface for parsing already exists?

I found MS XML and XML4C by Alphaworks(IBM) which are both useable in C++.

3. Would that be a nice feature for your CppUnit-Framework?

Regards

Steffen
