Verification Services |
A verification point is a mechanism for testing, or verifying, the behavior of the component-under-test.
Using QualityArchitect, you can verify return values, the values of input/output parameters, and side effects -- that is, how the behavior of the component-under-test affects the component itself as well as other objects. For example, in a banking application, you might want to verify that a component correctly calculates a monthly mortgage payment for a given set of inputs such as loan amount, interest rate, and life of loan.
You establish verification points in your test scripts using the classes and interfaces provided in the com.rational.test.vp
package. You can use the contents of this package in two ways:
Database...
classes. These are the classes you typically use when recording or writing scripts for EJB testing.
For details, see Database Verification Point Reference.
com.rational.test.vp
package.
For details, see Verification Point Framework Reference.
The following testing team members use the com.rational.test.vp
package and its documentation. Depending upon the requirements of your site, the same person or different persons perform the different tasks.
The following diagram illustrates the different roles of the test team:
