Easy Test 1.0

EasyTest shows all the public types and members of an assembly and allows you to call methods. All the necessary parameters can be set using string-representation and even more than one value can be specified for a certain parameter. This allows the execution of a complete testing sequence.

Here is an screenshot which explains the basic functionality:

Further interesting points:

• The class tree is ordered according to the well known hierarchy in Visual C#’s “Class View”:   

                    namespaces     

        namespaces (= subnamespaces)

                interfaces

                   (see classes)

                classes

                   bases and implmented interfaces

         interfaces

         classes (=subclasses)

         enum definitions

         constructors

                   methods

                   properties

         fields

                   events    

         notifier-types

• In order to convert the string-representations of a parameter’s value to an object of the parameter’s type, each parameter type has to have the following method:

     public static DataSet Parse(string str)

This method is detected via reflection. Standard-types like “Int32” or “String” have such a method, but also user-types can be used as parameters if they define a “Parsing”-method.

• More than one value can be set for a specific parameter. The individual values should be separated by an ‘;'-character. The string between such characters is forwarded to the parameter’s “Parse”-method.
