Writing Tests

How do I write tests in Testuff?

Writing tests in Testuff is super easy! Here's how it's done:

1. Go to the Tests tab.
2. Either edit a test by double clicking it, or create a new one via right click.
3. The test editor will load. Enter the test name at the top most textbox.
4. Simply write out the test steps separating each one with a blank line in between (hit ENTER twice after each step). Add text formatting as you like.
5. To indicate an expected result, type => and write the expected result right afterwards.
6. To add preconditions, use the first lines of the test editor as preconditions and then tick the Treat first lines as preconditions option at the bottom of the screen.
7. Don't forget to save the test via the link. You may also do so via the CTRL+S keyboard shortcut, save & close via ALT+ENTER, or close without saving via ESC.

Do you have an example of a test?

Yes. Notice the sample suite that was created automatically in your default project, it has several example tests. Here's one:

Open Notepad

Type in some text

Save the file 
=> File should be saved properly with the content

Type in some more text

Save again 
=> No file dialog should appear

=> File should be saved properly with the new content

What is the Estimated time for?

You can estimate how long the test should take to execute. Testuff also automatically measures test run time so you can improve your test management and planning. If you don't know (or don't care) how long tests take to execute, simply leave it empty.

Test Priority

You can now control the priority of each Test you create. Testuff supports three levels of priority currently: High, Normal and Low. If you don't need to prioritize your tests, just leave it as it is.
