Description

This is the base class for all test cases. Test are performed using an assertion method. If the assertion is correct, the test passes, otherwise it fails. Most assertions take an expected result, a received result, and a message (to describe the failure) as parameters. Available assertions are (see `assert<assertion-name>` methods for details): Equal, False, Identical, NoPattern, NotEqual, Null, Pattern, Tags, True. If an assertion is expected to produce an exception, the `expectException` method should be called before it. Both _case_ (unit) and _integration_ tests extend this class. These two test types can loosely be defined as follows: - Case: These tests are used to check a small unit of functionality, such as if a method returns an expected result for a known input, or whether an adapter can successfully open a connection. - Integration: These are tests for determining that different parts of the framework will work together (integrate) as expected. For example, a model has CRUD functionality with its underlying data source.
