TBrun: Generating test cases from a Comma-Separated Value file

Need to cre­ate a large num­ber of test cases for the same func­tion? There is a faster way than using the GUI.

In this episode, Mark Richard­son demon­strates how to gen­er­ate test cases from a CSV file using the LDRA TBrun unit test­ing tool. By export­ing a sin­gle test case as a tem­plate, edit­ing it to ref­er­ence CSV columns, and run­ning a Python script, you can gen­er­ate dozens of test cases in sec­onds and import them straight into TBrun.

What you will learn:

How to import the gen­er­at­ed test cases into TBrun and run them
