Re: [Ddtunit-users] Using other data source than XML

[<j.g...@bi...>]

Hi Carlos,

second part is a little bit easier to answer. - Check =20
DDTTestCase.assertObject(...) for details. http://=20
ddtunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/junitx/ddtunit/DDTTestCase.html
With this methods it is possible to evaluate assertions during =20
testmethod execution and not at the end of testmethod.

Back to the first issue of execution order. The order of execution is =20=

specified by the TestRunner used. The standard model is implemented =20
by selecting all methods starting with 'test' using reflection. So no =20=

specific order for now. Inside of a testgroup the tests are executed =20
by order of <test>  tags - just a choice of implementation no fixed =20
design in mind.

I have a look into this issues and be back on you.

Best regards
