Unit Testing in AutoIt...sorta

[zfisherdrums]

While working on an automation framework for my company, I found myself missing some of the xUnit testing capabilities that more "traditional" development environments employ. Then I remembered hearing Martin Fowler at a conference speak of the somewhat trivial task of implementing unit testing frameworks for companies he had worked for.

So what follows is my attempt at providing some unit testing functions in AutoIt. It is by no means as robust as the xUnit frameworks nor is it a highly-optimized, textbook implementation - but it suited my needs at the time.

Edit:

TestSetup and TestTearDown functionality added. These functions are accessed using "Call()" and are not required per se. But AU3Check will kickback non-fatal errors if they are not defined in the Test Script. See the examples uploaded for further clarification.

The example "CalcCore.zip" contains a minature automation framework for testing some functionality in "Calculator". The included "FunctionLibTests" and "ActionLibTests" describe the tests associated with their respective libraries. Run these to see Testing.au3 in action.

Here is Testing.au3:

Testing.au3

After placing Testing.au3 in the include directory, download this example:

CalcCore.zip

Current Limitations:

> Output File does not contain the periods and "F"'s that appear in the console.

> Only 3 Assertions

> Others only you know about

Not bad. Well done.

Your work is pretty good, I'm trying to apply your framework for my automation testing project. However, there is still issue with the Func CloseApp inside FunctionLib.au3. None of the app instances are closed after test. Could you please help a look on this please.
