Assert Actions

Assert actions are used in the action attribute of the assert tag.

The following values are valid:

  • ISNULL
  • ISNOTNULL
  • EQUALS
  • NOTEQUALS
  • GT (greater than)
  • NOTGT (not greater than)
  • LT (less than)
  • NOTLT (not less than)
  • ISTYPEOF
  • ISTRUE

The type attribute of the assert tag defines the data type to the assertion value.

Assert action isTypeOf

   <method name="testTypeOf" test-case="standard">
     <asserts>
       <assert name="variable" type="org.jtestcase.CustomType" action="ISTYPEOF"></assert>
       </asserts>
   </method>
