Hi folks,
Let me summarize the yesterday's discussion in a few keys points:
- Greg's proposal aims at simplicity and is useful mainly for test cases
which can be written in a few minutes. More complex test cases are not
suitable for the YAML approach.
- The above implies that the YAML based test cases would be supported
alongside the existing approach. This fast way to implement simple test
cases would likely be a valuable addition.
- The big picture idea behind the YAML test cases is to take an
application with interactive input, send commands, collect output and
compare the output with expected string(s).
- Greg may be able to make the code available and may assess how to
integrate it with DTS.
Regards,
Juraj
