Re: Dynamically Defining Tests from Config File

>(It can be a very general pointing...)
I understand this is the NUnit list but...MBUnit offers such
functionality. 

However, from reading posts about NUnit v MBUnit you can achieve the
same using NUnit's extensibility framework.

I however am sticking with NUnit. I find it more than good enough for
what I do and need a good reason to risk problems with another
framework.

Best regards,

Ian

Subject: [Nunit-users] Dynamically Defining Tests from Config File

Hello,

NUnit's attribute-oriented approach has worked well for me, but now, I
would like a number of separately defined tests to run based on the
contents of a config file.  Basically, each test is defined in the
config file as a set of input parameters and a set of items
representing expected application state given the specified input.

I would like to be able to add or remove sets of input and expected
output without having to create or remove a method.  One thing I
considered is to create a single test method that reads the config
file and runs all of the parameter/output sets under a single test,
but I do not want the testing of subsequent parameter/output sets to
be denied when one set fails.  (I hope that makes sense.)

If there is an approach to this that would stay in the spirit of the
NUnit architecture while allowing me to define separate tests for each
parameter/output set, could you please point me in the right
direction.  (It can be a very general pointing...)


Thank you for your time.

-Brandon Payton
