Web Unit Testing Tool

The Web unit testing tool provides a set of features for testing the source code. The tool uses the QUnit test framework to write and run tests.

To unit test your application:

• Generate test stubs
• Edit a test
• Run the test

Note
The Web unit test tool is designed to only support functional testing.

Generating Test Stubs

You can generate unit tests easily with the New Web Unit Test wizard.

To test your project:

1. To open the wizard, go to File > New > Tizen Web Unit Test.
2. Select the file to test from the file list on the left pane.
3. Select the methods to test from the method list on the right pane.
4. Enter a name for the test file and click Finish.

The test stubs are generated in the webUnitTest folder.

Editing a Test

To edit a unit test:

1. Add a test case using the test() function:

   test(name, test2);
   

   The function takes the following parameters:

   • name: The title of the test as string, which is used to display the test results.
   • test2: The function contains actual testing code that is written with one or more assertions to test.

2. Edit test2 using assertions.

   An assertion is a boolean expression that meaning pass or failure of test. You can test a value generated by your code with expected value using a number of assertions provided by Web unit testing tool.

   Note
   For more information about assertions, see http://api.qunitjs.com/category/assert/.

Running Tests

To run a unit test, right-click on your project in the Package Explorer view and select Run As > Tizen Web Unit Test Application.

The Web Unit Test Result view shows the test results in a tree format. It shows the passed tests with a green icon and failed tests with a red icon. You can use the Show failed only button to only display the failed tests.
