Abstract
Described herein is a test data framework. In accordance with one aspect, the framework creates a test data container that stores test data corresponding to one or more attributes of a business object. The framework may further create a test metaobject instance corresponding to the business object, wherein the test metaobject instance defines associations with the test data container and the business object. The test data container and the test metaobject instance may be sent to a test system for creating one or more instances of the business object that reflect the test data.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a program executable by at least one processing unit of a device, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- creating a test data container comprising a first set of values for a set of attributes of a business object and a second set of values for the set of attributes of the business object;
- creating an instance of a test metaobject associated with the business object, the instance of the test metaobject comprising a first reference to the test data container and a second reference to the business object;
- and
- sending a test system the test data container and the instance of the test metaobject, wherein the test system creates a first instance of the business object based on the first set of values in the test data container and a second instance of the business object based on the second set of values in the test data container.
A method comprising:
- creating a test data container comprising a first set of values for a set of attributes of a business object and a second set of values for the set of attributes of the business object;
- creating an instance of a test metaobject associated with the business object, the instance of the test metaobject comprising a first reference to the test data container and a second reference to the business object;
- and
- sending a test system the test data container and the instance of the test metaobject, wherein the test system creates a first instance of the business object based on the first set of values in the test data container and a second instance of the business object based on the second set of values in the test data container.
A system comprising:
- a set of processing units;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processing unit in the set of processing units cause the at least one processing unit to:
- create a test data container comprising a first set of values for a set of attributes of a business object and a second set of values for the set of attributes of the business object;
- create an instance of a test metaobject associated with the business object, the instance of the test metaobject comprising a first reference to the test data container and a second reference to the business object;
- and
- send a test system the test data container and the instance of the test metaobject, wherein the test system creates a first instance of the business object based on the first set of values in the test data container and a second instance of the business object based on the second set of values in the test data container.
