Using CDD

Getting Started

• First you need to make the two CDD tool windows 'Testing' and 'CDD Output' visible. Do that by going to the menu 'View -> Tools' and select 'Testing' and 'CDD Output':

• Now enable background execution and extraction of test cases. The first will cause the execution of your test cases after every compilation and the second will extract a new test case after every exception. To enable both make sure both of the toolbar buttons (marked in red) below are pressed.

How to add a manual test case

To add a manual test case simply create a new class whose name contains the word 'TEST', have it inherit from CDD_TEST_CASE and add one or several unit test routines. Make sure that all unit test routines start with 'test_'. Here is a simple example test class:

class TEST_BANK_ACCOUNT
inherit CDD_TEST_CASE
feature
  test_deposit
    local
      ba: BANK_ACCOUNT
    do
      create ba.make_with_balance (0)
      ba.deposit (100)
      check
         money_depisited: ba.balance = 100
      end
    end
end
