Interface ModelConverter

All Known Implementing Classes:

IndexBasedModelConverter

public interface ModelConverter

An interface for classes which can convert an InputParameterModel to a CombinatorialTestModel. Additionally, all sub-resources like parameters, combinations, and constraints can be converted.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int[]	convertCombination(Combination combination) Converts a Combination object to an integer array representation with the corresponding value number.
Combination	convertCombination(int[] combination) Converts a combinations represented by an integer array into a Combination object with the corresponding parameters and values.
TupleList	convertConstraint(Constraint constraint) Converts a Constraint object into a TupleList representation which is equal.
Constraint	convertConstraint(TupleList constraint) Converts a TupleList object into a Constraint representation which is equal.
Parameter	convertParameter(int parameter) Converts an integer representation back to a Parameter object.
int	convertParameter(Parameter parameter) Converts a Parameter object into an equivalent integer representation.
Value	convertValue(int parameter, int value) Converts the integer representation of a value into a Value object.
int	convertValue(Parameter parameter, Value value) Converts a Value to an integer representation.
CombinatorialTestModel	getConvertedModel()
InputParameterModel	getModel()

Method Detail

getModel

InputParameterModel getModel()

Returns:

the original model which is converted by this ModelConverter

getConvertedModel

CombinatorialTestModel getConvertedModel()

Returns:

the conversion of the original model (getModel())

convertCombination

int[] convertCombination(Combination combination)

Converts a Combination object to an integer array representation with the corresponding value number. If the array returned by this method is given into convertCombination(int[]), a Combination equal to the original one should be returned.

Parameters:

combination - the combination to be converted. Must not be null

Returns:

the corresponding integer array to that it matches the model conversion

convertCombination

Combination convertCombination(int[] combination)

Converts a combinations represented by an integer array into a Combination object with the corresponding parameters and values.

Parameters:

combination - the combination to be converted. Must not be null

Returns:

the corresponding Combination so that it matches the model conversion

convertConstraint

TupleList convertConstraint(Constraint constraint)

Converts a Constraint object into a TupleList representation which is equal. If the TupleList returned by this method is given to convertConstraint(TupleList), the original constraint will be returned.

Parameters:

constraint - the constraint to convert. Needs to be one in the original model, otherwise success of this method is not guaranteed. Must not be null

Returns:

the corresponding TupleList representation so that it matches the model conversion

convertConstraint

Constraint convertConstraint(TupleList constraint)

Converts a TupleList object into a Constraint representation which is equal.

Parameters:

constraint - the constraint to convert. Needs to be one in the original model, otherwise success of this method is not guaranteed. Must not be null

Returns:

the corresponding Constraint representation so that it matches the model conversion

convertParameter

int convertParameter(Parameter parameter)

Converts a Parameter object into an equivalent integer representation. If the integer returned by this method is given to convertParameter(int), the original parameter is returned.

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter to convert. Needs to be in the original model, otherwise success of this method is not guaranteed. Must not be null

Returns:

the corresponding integer representation so that it matches the model conversion

convertParameter

Parameter convertParameter(int parameter)

Converts an integer representation back to a Parameter object.

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter to convert. Needs to be in the original model, otherwise success of this method is not guaranteed. Must not be negative

Returns:

the corresponding Parameter representation so that it matches the model conversion

convertValue

int convertValue(Parameter parameter,
                 Value value)

Converts a Value to an integer representation. As values are only unique in their corresponding Parameters, the parameter is needed as well. It can be converted using convertParameter(Parameter). If the converted value and parameter are given to convertValue(int, int), the original value is returned.

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter in which the value is located

value - the value to convert

Returns:

the corresponding integer representation so that it matches the model conversion

convertValue

Value convertValue(int parameter,
                   int value)

Converts the integer representation of a value into a Value object. The parameter is needed since values are only unique in the context of their parameters. The parameter can be converted with convertParameter(int).

Parameters:

parameter - the parameter in which the value is located

value - the value to convert

Returns:

the corresponding Value representation so that it matches the model conversion
