Unit Test Classes

Chapter 4 Generating Hibernate Persistent Objects and JSF Pages

For each persistent class, PowerDesigner generates a unit test class.

There are three categories of functions:

The pre test is responsible for some preparation tasks, such as creating persistent object.
The do test performs the corresponding database access operation.
The after test will perform some assertions to verify the correctness of the test.

You can customize these functions.

The generated test cases are:

Insert test method - to test instance insert.
Update test method - to test instance update.
Delete test method - to test instance delete.
Property finder test method - to test every property finder method defined in Dao.
Get all instance list test method - to test the get<ClassCode>List defined in Dao.
Navigation test method - to test association mapping. Tests if the associated classed can be saved and queried correctly.
Inheritance test method - to test inheritance mapping. Tests if the subclasses can be saved and queried correctly.
User defined operation test methods - skeleton methods to test user defined functions. These are generated only when the Generate test method extended attribute of the operation is set to true.
