将单元测试结果/报告写入文本文件和控制台的最佳做法或模式

Question

We have our own unit test framework for blackberry application. And now we need to generate unit test report in text file, before we were just printing on console.

CommandController.java - Sends commands to blackberry simulator and receive response in string format. It displays which commands has sent to simulator and responses on console

TestResults.java - compares the string response received above with expected value and prints success or failure info.

CommandController.java and TestResults.java are invoked from main class SimmTest.java.

Now I want to capture the info from both CommandController.java and TestResult.java in text file and as well as display on console.

Please let me know the best practices or patterns for this scenario. Thanks for help!

Answer 1

I don't know about java and blackberry but a format I like to display tests results is "TAP"

Basically the output of the tests is something like that :

  1..12
  ok 1 - This is the title of the first test
  not ok 2 - This is the title of the second test
