Package de.cuioss.test.generator

Generators

Using the generators help creating variations of test-data. On the one hand it produces a large number of different values. On the other hand it makes error cases reproducible see EnableGeneratorController and GeneratorSeed for details.

Provided Features

The generators defined within this packages are the base for the cui-value-object test framework. In essence, it is a variant of QuickCheck. In the current implementation it actually uses code derived from QuickCheck, thanks guys, but mostly the generator part. These code is isolated de.cuioss.test.generator.internal.net.java.quickcheck and will be replaced in the future. Therefore: Do not use any of that code at all! Central elements are:

• TypedGenerator: Is the core Type. Instances of it are used for generating arbitrary instances of any value-object. Compared to Generator it provides an additional method providing runtime information on the type being generated: TypedGenerator.getType().
• Generators: Factory methods for accessing TypedGenerator for many java-lang types.
• de.cuioss.test.generator.domain: Provides some domain specific TypedGenerator
