= Usage
|
|
Behaviors provides a single method: should.
|
|
|
|
Instead of naming test methods like:
|
|
|
|
def test_something
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
You declare test methods like:
|
|
|
|
should "perform action" do
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
You may omit the body of a <tt>should</tt> method to describe unimplemented behavior.
|
|
|
|
should "perform other action"
|
|
|
|
When you run your unit tests, empty <tt>should</tt> methods will appear as an 'UNIMPLEMENTED CASE' along with the described behavior.
|
|
This is useful for sketching out planned behavior quickly.
|
|
|
|
Simply <tt>extend Behaviors</tt> in your <tt>TestCase</tt> to start using behaviors.
|
|
|
|
require 'test/unit'
|
|
require 'behaviors'
|
|
require 'user'
|
|
|
|
class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
|
|
extend Behaviors
|
|
...
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
= Motivation
|
|
Test methods typically focus on the name of the method under test instead of its behavior.
|
|
Creating test methods with <tt>should</tt> statements focuses on the behavior of an object.
|
|
This helps you to think about the role of the object under test.
|
|
|
|
Using a behavior-driven approach prevents the danger in assuming a one-to-one mapping of method names to
|
|
test method names.
|
|
As always, you get the most value by writing the tests first.

= Rake tasks
|
|
|
|
You can define a <tt>Behaviors::ReportTask</tt> in your <tt>Rakefile</tt> to generate rake tasks that
|
|
summarize the behavior of your project.
|
|
|
|
These tasks are named <tt>behaviors</tt> and <tt>behaviors_html</tt>. They will output to the
|
|
console or an html file in the <tt>doc</tt> directory with a list all of your <tt>should</tt> tests.
|
|
Behaviors::ReportTask.new do |t|
|
|
t.pattern = 'test/**/*_test.rb'
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
You may also initialize the <tt>ReportTask</tt> with a custom name to associate with a particular suite of tests.
|
|
Behaviors::ReportTask.new(:widget_subsystem) do |t|
|
|
t.pattern = 'test/widgets/*_test.rb'
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
The html report will be placed in the <tt>doc</tt> directory by default.
|
|
You can override this default by setting the <tt>html_dir</tt> in the <tt>ReportTask</tt>.
|
|
Behaviors::ReportTask.new do |t|
|
|
t.pattern = 'test/**/*_test.rb'
|
|
t.html_dir = 'behaviors_html_reports'
|
|
end
|
|

def should(behave,&block)

mname = "test_should_#{behave}"
