Chapter 3 Test Suite Construction 29
In the test description file, $testHost and $testPort are test environment
variables and are replaced by actual values obtained from the test environment.
■ The test suite configuration interview must include a corresponding and
appropriate question asking the user to specify the values of the host and port
number.
The configuration interview creates entries in the test environment from user
answers as name-value pairs. The value of $testHost and $testPort are
defined in the configuration from those user answers. Users can display the test
environment from within the harness by choosing Configure > Show Test
Environment from the Test Manager menu bar.
The following is an example of name-value pairs that the configuration interview
might create in a configuration file from user answers.
▼ To Create a Configuration Interview Through
the Interview Class
The following procedure uses the Test2.java test class as an example to
demonstrate how to accomplish the following tasks:
■ Create a configuration interview through the interview class
■ Export an environment variable
■ Specify the environment value by using context or executeArgs
■ Decode the argument into the test class
SimpleTestSuite/tests/sample/pkg2/Test2.java is a simple test class
created to demonstrate the basic principle of writing a test that uses a configuration
interview.
In addition to the procedures provided in this section, refer to Chapter 6 of the
JavaTest Architect’s Guide for additional information regarding creating configuration
interviews.
