Description
Class Summary | |
BaseDatapoolIterator | The base class for the predefined RFT datapool iterators. |
DatapoolFactory | The DatapoolFactory is a singleton object so that
IDatapool and
IDatapoolIterator
instances can be shared. |
DatapoolFactory.IteratorClassName | |
DatapoolUtilities | This class provides static datapool specific utility methods. |
RandomIterator | The RFT iterator used when random iteration format is selected
for a particular script. |
SequentialIterator | The RFT iterator used when sequential iteration format is selected
for a particular script. |
The package com.rational.test.ft.datapool provides the datapool factory and iterator classes.
Datapool support is based on the
Hyades datapool
interface.
IDatapool
is the base
interface for all Functional Tester datapools.
The datapool factory is a singleton class that provides access to an instance
of a datapool or iterator class. Datapools are loaded from a file specification of an RFTDP or RFTXDP
type file. Each instance may
optionally be shared across multiple requests for the same datapool. Refer to the
IDatapoolFactory
interface for a detailed discussion of the factory capabilities.
An iterator provides orderly access to records in a specific datapool. The access order is either SEQUENTIAL
or RANDOM. Refer to the
IDatapoolIterator
interface for a detailed discussion of the datapool iterator capabilities.
Functional Tester will automatically manage the opening and iterating of a datapool by simply associating the datapool with a specific script. However it is possible to manually control the opening and iteration over a datapool by adding several simple statements to a script.
java.io.File dpFile = new java.io.File((String)getOption(IOptionName.DATASTORE), "datapool/ClassicsDP.rftdp"); IDatapool dp = dpFactory().load(dpFile, true); IDatapoolIterator dpIter = dpFactory().open(dp, null); // use default iterator class dpIter.dpInitialize(dp); // use default equivalence class while ( !dpIter.dpDone() ) { // Insert actions using dpIter based references to the datapool itemText().setText(dpIter.dpString("Item")); dpIter.dpNext(); }
Basically just load the datapool and datapool iterator using the datapool factory so that the objects
can be shared. Initialize the iterator, basically spcifying which equivalence class should be used (in this
example the default equivalence class is used). Then iterate over the datapool using the dpNext()
method to increment the iterator until dpDone()
is true
. Note that the methods used
to access cells are relative to the dpIter
variable and not the methods (with the same names) that
are available relative to the script instance from the DatapoolScriptSupport
class. The methods
in the script are for access to the datapool associated with the script only.
