KReport/Autotests

We use ther autotests term because these are not always just unit tests but also functional.

All stored in SRC/autotests/ (subdirs).

Data for given group of tests stored in a data subdir.

The .kreport format

Code stored in SRC/autotests/format. Data in SRC/autotests/format/data.

Types of tests identified:

1. Inserts some elements onto the report sections, save to the .kreport design format, then the markup is compared with the sample
2. Opposite direction: load .kreport designs, verify if report elements and their properties are as expected
3. Roundtrip: load the .kreport designs, save back immediately, compare with the original

Special:

• Collect .kreport samples for test cases for legacy elements/formats, use above tests with them
  • Example: the field element

Writers

For KReportWriter implementations.

1. Load a sample, load some data, write using a KReportWriter, verify the result

Scripting

Kexi 2.x Reports offered some limited scripting. The task is to collect all supported cases for that in a form of .kreport samples. Testing can be identical to the Writers autotests explained above.
