Suite Structure

---

A test suite is a JSON file that specifies a suite parameter that contains a tests parameter and an optional connection parameter. Test suites can only execute tests that are embedded into the JAR, in the resources/test_library.

The tests parameter specifies an array of strings representing the names of the single file tests that are to be executed. Tests will be executed one after another.

The connection object specified at the suite level overrides the connection objects in all of the single file tests. The valid parameters and structure are identical to the connection object for a single file test.

Description

The description string is an optional test parameter that provides a basic understanding of the test. The description is currently not used by the framework, but will be used in the future for diagnostic and reporting purposes.

Adding a short textual description of the test or test suite is recommended.

Example

{
  "suite": {
    "description": "An Example test suite that executes four tests.",
    "connection": {
      "ssid": "DB0G",
      "userid": "QADBA01"
    },
    "tests": [
      "BasicSelectTest.JSON",
      "BasicMultiThreadedSelectTest.JSON",
      "BasicCreateInsertTest.JSON",
      "BasicStoredProcedureTest.JSON"
    ]
  }
