Create test suites with scenario-based test cases

When you create a test suite and select scenario-based testing, a single test case is automatically generated for all of the operations that you select for testing. The test case makes a series of invocations on one or more components that make up the scenario.

You can choose the order in which you want the operations to be tested and the operations will be tested in sequence.

Before you can create a test suite, you need to have created a component test project to contain it. Information on creating a component test project is found in the topic "Creating component test projects."

To create test suites for scenario-based testing:

Procedure

1. In the Business Integration view, right-click the component test project where you want to create your test suite and then select New > Component Test Suite. The Create Component Test Suite wizard opens.

2. In the Name field, type the name that you want to assign to the new test suite.

3. Click Next. The Select a Test Pattern page opens.

4. In the Available test patterns list box, select Scenario-based testing.

5. Click Next. The Define a Test Scenario page opens.

6. In the Test case name field, type the name that you want to assign to the test case.

7. Complete the following steps to select operations for the test scenario:

   1. In the Available components and interfaces list box, expand a module and then expand one of its components to reveal the interface that contains one or more operations that you want to select.

   2. Select the interface that contains the one or more operations that you want to add to the test scenario. The operations are displayed in the Testable operations list box.

   3. In the Testable operations list box, select an operation and click the Add icon. The name of the operation and its location are displayed in the Test scenario list box.
   4. Repeat these steps for each operation that you want to add to the test scenario. The order in which the operations are listed in the Test scenario list box will determine the sequence in which they are tested.

8. If you want to remove one or all operations from the Test scenario list box, complete one of the following steps:

   • To remove a single operation, select the operation and then click the Remove icon.

   • To remove all operations, click the Remove All icon.

9. If you want to undo or redo the addition or removal of an operation in the Test scenario list box, complete one of the following steps:

   • To undo the addition or removal of an operation, click the Undo icon.

   • To redo the addition or removal of an operation, click the Redo icon.

10. If you want to move an operation up or down in the list of operations, complete one of the following steps:

    • To move an operation up the list, select the operation and then click the Up icon.

    • To move an operation down the list, select the operation and then click the Down icon.

11. Click Finish. In the Business Integration view, the new test suite is added to the component test project and the test suite automatically opens in the test suite editor.
