[Etester-users] Too much work in make of test_suite

[<dm...@cs...>]

Hi:

Jonathan made the correct observation that the creation feature in subclasses of
TEST_SUITE are unnecessarily complex.

for example consider the following class ALL_TESTS which runs UNIT_TEST1 and
UNIT_TEST2

the make would look something as follows:


make is
local t1 : UNIT_TEST1; t2 : UNIT_TEST2
do
 create t1.make
 create t2.make
 add_test(t1)
 add_test(t2)
 run
 to_html("tests.html"
end



we can simplify this overhead, by requiring that the UNIT_TESTS are expanded
types; thus, the make will now look as follows:

make is
local 
 t1 : expanded UNIT_TEST1
 t2 : expanded UNIT_TEST2
do
 add_test(t1)
 add_test(t2)
 run
 to_html("tests.html"
end


What do you all think?

Cheers,

DM
