MDTest Overview
MDTest is a Unit testing tool integrated with MDChange.
MDTest provides for the on-demand and automated execution of a sequenced list of commands and SQL statements.
The results of the executed items are reported with several layers of granularity and MDTest can block the further deployment of the applicable programs via a quality gate.
Aside from being a runtime engine for testing, MDTest also provides a large set of testing related functions that can be easily imbedded into testing programs written by your development staff (every ILE language is supported). The categories of functions include: - Code Coverage Functions - Performance Measurement Functions - Informational Functions - Execution Functions - Numeric condition Functions - Character condition Functions
- RegEx condition Functions - Array condition Functions
Specifications of all Functions
MDTest functions only need to be embedded in custom test programs - your application objects themselves do not require any special coding.
