Interface Test

All Known Implementing Classes:

MultiTest

public interface Test

This interface is implemented by tests to be run by standard scripts. Information about the test is normally contained in a test description. A test should also define `main' as follows:

 
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          Test t = new test-class-name();
          Status s = t.run(args, new PrintWriter(System.err), new PrintWriter(System.out));
          s.exit();
      }
 
 

Defining `main' like this means that the test can also be run standalone, independent of the harness.

Method Detail

run

Status run(java.lang.String[] args,
         java.io.PrintWriter out1,
         java.io.PrintWriter out2)

Runs the test embodied by the implementation.

Parameters:

args - These are supplied by the script running the test, typically derived from values in the test description. and allow a script to provide configuration information to a test, or to reuse a test with different test values.

out1 - A stream to which to report errors. This stream was previously called "err".

out2 - An additional stream to which to report messages. This stream was previously called "out".

Returns:

A Status object representing the outcome of the test.
