Testing Framework

Testing framework is design to perform testing of DuPont values and different level "drill-downs". In the core of the framework is the TestObject class. The class keeps both TestCriterion, which virtually stores SelectionBoxValues, and a TestData collection, a collection of TestData subclass instances.

To test new kind of report values, it is necessary to perform the following operations:

Create a subclass of TestData named TestData. The class instances should know how to create themselves.
In the default portfolio(finmod.ptf) create a test TopTest for testing the new TestData subclass.

Aside from the TestObject, TestData subclasses, and TestCriterion, there are several support classes: TestSelectionDialog, EqualityTestInfo, TestResultViewer. They are used for selecting tests from a TestData collection, storing test result information, and viewing test results, respectively. See each class for detailed descriptions.
