Re: Inquiry on some technical capabilities of RPGUnit

Hi Javier,

Thanks to Ken and Justin most of your questions have already been answered.

Here are my additional two cents:

Is it possible, that your questions have been triggered by the capabilities of Arcad's iUnit? If that is the case, then you should know that iRPGUnit cannot compare to Arcard's iUnit. iUnit is much more powerful regarding to generate test cases from a given service program. On the other side iUnit is also for unit testing only and not for running integration tests, as far as I know.

I do not think, that Arcad or anybody else would reinvent the wheel and write his own code coverage utility. That is what comes with the IBM i and RDi and hence that is what people should use. Of course you can do code coverage for every test suite service program executed by iRPGUnit.

iRGGUnit can generate a spooled file to report the result of a unit test suite or it can display the result in a view in RDi.

Last but not least it can generate a XML file, which can be read by a Jenkins unit test job.

Regards,

Thomas.

Hello,
I wanted to know some basic technical details about RPGUnit framework
and iRPGUnit plug-in for RDi.

* Does it allow to do integration tests, or just unit and regression
testing?
* Does it allow to do mocking/stubbing?
* Does it include any code coverage feature?
* How are errors visualized? Is there any graphical visualization?
* Are programming skills necessary to generate test cases? Or is there
any kind of "graphical flow" to generate test cases?

Thanks for your help!
