in reply to Test::LectroTest and Test::MockObject.
in thread RFC: Tutorial on Testing

Thanks for your feedback on LectroTest, and your example with Test::MockObject is a cool use. (BTW, I don't think that calculating the expected score in the Property is an abuse at all.)

If you don't mind a suggestion, you could simplify the data-building portion of your code by letting LectroTest build the more-complicated data structure for you:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Test::LectroTest trials => 10; use List::Util qw( reduce ); $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1; Property { ##[ data <- List( Hash( Unit(1) , Int( range=>[50,100], sized=>0 ) , length=>1 ) , length=>5 ) ]## my @input = map { values %$_ } @$data; my $questions = reduce { $a + $b } @input; print STDERR Dumper( { data => $data , input => \@input , questions => $questions } ), "\n"; 1; # always passes trials }, name => "shell property that holds a generator example";
Also, for the Int generator, you shouldn't specify a range that does not contain zero if the generator is sized. The reason for this rule is that at run time, the intersection of the sizing-guidance range and your given range can be empty, thus making it impossible to generate a valid value. (I have updated the LectroTest::Generator docs to reflect this, and LectroTest will now complain if you try to combine these settings.)

Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback!

Cheers,
Tom

    Thank you! I will incorporate your suggestions, as they are both more concise and more elegant, not to say easier to read. Perhaps a cookbook section with examples on different standard structures might be an idea?

    Anyhow, this is great input for future fiddling with the settings. I'll study the docs for sizing-guidance, as I haven't quite figured those out yet.

      Wow! A subject near and dear to my heart. I look forward to working my way thru this pup - specially since I am a QA automation guy. I applaud your effort and will provide my two cents worth shortly. spiderman
