All Implemented Interfaces:

junit.framework.Test

public class run

extends junit.framework.TestSuite

TestCase that provides a way to parameterise tests.

Often there is a need to run a set of tests multiple times, but each time with slight differences.

A set of xml test cases can be encapsulated within a suite:

	<suite stepid="commonTests">
 		<fetch url="http://#{server}/file.html"/>
 		<verify page="aPageSpec"/>
 	</suite>

The run contruct can be used to run this suite.

	<set name="server1.netriser.com"/>
 	<run suite="commonTests">
 	<set name="server2.netriser.com"/>
 	<run suite="commonTests">

Implementation note:

In Junit, the test runners assume that a test can only be run once. In order that these test comply with this junit framework restriction the test objects in a suite will be instantiated multiple, once for each time they are referenced by a run statement.

This implies that the number of times a suite is run needs to be known at the time of initialisation, which prevents us from creating a loop contruct with a dynamic number of iterations (e.g. based on the number of entries in a database.
