Class: TWellBehavedObjectTestOf

Declaration: WellBehavedObjectTest.h

Taxonomy Categories:

Member Functions:

Interface Category:

Developer Tool Programmer Interface.

Inherits From:

TBaseWellBehavedObjectTest

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

A template class derived from TBaseWellBehavedObjectTest. It tests the copying, streaming, and flattening of the target by creating TCopyTestOf, TFlattenResurrectTestOf, and TStreamTestOf tests for the target and running the tests. The test also does all the testing done by TBasePrimitiveComparisonTest by creating a TPrimitiveComparisonTestOf test for the target and running it.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

TWellBehavedObjectTestOf should not be used directly. It is best to create a derived class of TWellBehavedObjectTestOf and overload the SetupComparator function to specify which comparator to use for the test, the SetupStreamer function to specify which streamer to use for the test, and the CreateNewTarget function to create the target. You can also override the CreateEqualTarget and CreateUnequalTarget to create the objects used to check equality and inequality. The TWellBehavedObjectTestOf macros can be used to create your derived class and define all the functions you need to override.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.
