NAME

Test::STDmaker::Demo - generates demo scripts from a test description short hand

DESCRIPTION

The Test::STDmaker::Demo package is an internal driver package to the Test::STDmaker package that supports the Test::STDmaker::tmake() method. Any changes to the internal drive interface and this package will not even consider backward compatibility. Thus, this POD serves as a Software Design Folder documentation the current internal design of the Test::STDmaker and its driver packages.

The Test::STDmaker::Check package inherits the methods of the Test::STDmaker package. The Test::STDmaker build generate and <print> methods directs the Test::STDmaker::Demo package to perform its work by calling its methods.

The Test::STDmaker::Demo methods builds a demo script whereby the demo script loads the Test::Tech package and uses the methods from the Test::Tech package.

During the course of the processing the Test::STDmaker::Demo package maintains the following in the $self object data hash:

$skip

condition that a test should be skipped

$verify_only

flag that a test is for the verify (test script) output only

The Test::STDmaker::Demo package has the following options that are passed as part of the $self hash from Test::STDmaker methods:

demo

Replaces the UUT DEMONSTRATION POD section with the results from the demo script.

replace

same as the demo option

nosemi

The C subroutine will not automatically add a ';' at the end of the code field.

TEST DESCRIPTION METHODS

A

 $file_data = A($command, $actual-expression )

If the $verify_only object data is set, the A subroutine resets the $verify_only and $skip object data and returns empty for file_data; otherwise, performs the following.

If the skip flag is set, the A subroutine adds the following to the demo script by returning it in $file_data

 demo( text_of($actual_expression), $actual-expression) )
   unless C<$skip>;

and resets the $skip condition; otherwise

 demo( text_of($actual_expression), $actual-expression) );

E

 $file_data = E($command, $expected-expression)

The E subroutine resets the verify_only object data and returns empty for $file_data.

C

 $file_data = C($command, $code)

If the $verify_only object data is set, the C subroutine returns empty for file_data; otherwise, adds the following to the demo script by returning it in $file_data

  demo( text_of($actual_expression)) )
  $actual-expression

DM

 $file_data = DM($command, $msg)

The DM subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

DO

 $file_data = DO($command, $comment)

The DO subroutine resets the verify_only object data and returns empty for $file_data.

N

 $file_data = N($command, $name_data)

If the $verify_only object data is set, the C subroutine returns empty for file_data; otherwise, adds the $name_data as a comment to the demo script by returning it in $file_data

ok

 $file_data = ok($command, $test_number)

The ok subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

QC

 $file_data = QC($command, $code)

If the verify_only object data is set, the QC subroutine returns empty for file_data; otherwise, adds the following to the demo script by returning it in $file_data

  $actual-expression

R

 $file_data = R($command, $requirement_data)

The R subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

S

 $file_data = S($command, $expression)

SE

 $file_data = SE($command, $expected-expression)

The SE subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

SF

 $file_data = SF($command, "$value,$msg")

The SF subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

T

 $file_data = T($command,  $tests )

The T subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

TS

 $file_data = TS(command, \&subroutine)

The TS subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

U

 $file_data = U($command, $comment)

The U subroutine returns empty for $file_data.

VO

 $file_data = VO($command, $comment)

The C{VO} subroutine sets the $verify_only flag and returns empty for $file_data.

ADMINSTRATIVE METHODS

AUTOLOAD

The AUTOLOAD subroutine issues a warning whether called by the orphan method $AUTOLOAD

finish

 $file_data = finish()

The finish subroutine returns adds a short POD to the demo script by returning it in $file_data.

post_print

 $success = post_print()

If either the demo or replace option is set, the post_print subroutine will run the demo script and replace the DEMONSTRATION section of the UUT POD with the results.

start

 $file_data = start()

The start routine returns in $file_data the BEGIN and <END> block for the demo script. The BEGIN block loads the Test::Tech program module, changes the working directory to the directory of the demo script, and adds some extra directories to the front of @INC. The <END> block restores everything to the state before the execution of the BEGIN block.
