RE: Re[2]: [Cppunit-devel] URGENT: more information to be logged

Hi.

Currently it is very simple:

- you can write test methods that take additional input as parameters
- this input is read from an in-file (XML)

I also suggested a more elaborate version of this approach (see
devel-mailing list archive):

- Introduce the notion of a TestContext in the Test interface
- test methods would then use the TestContext to make use of
input-parameters (see above)
- TestOutputter would also be able to access this TestContext; this fact
could be used to provide
  the additional information that you want to be outputted. This information
could of course be
  included in the XML file that also contains the different
parameterizations for the tests

The TestContext class would be designed as a key/value-container. There
would have to be a new/specialized Outputter that "knows" the content of the
TestContext (the keys). Or the Outputter could just provide a basic support
for outputting the contents of TestContext (iterating over all key/value
pairs).

But there hasn't been much interest in this concept, so we just developed
the easy version yet...

Armin (bored)
