The output produced by a test module is one of the major assets the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
|
|
brings to users. In comparison with any kind of manual/assert based solution
|
|
the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> provide following services:
|

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">

<li class="listitem">

|
All test errors are reported uniformly The test execution monitor along
|
|
with standardized output from all included <span class="bold"><strong>testing
|
|
tools</strong></span> provides uniform reporting for all errors including
|
|
fatal errors, like memory assess violation and uncaught exceptions.
|
|
</li>
|

<li class="listitem">
|
|
Detailed information on the source of an error The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
|
|
test tool's based assertion provides as much information as possible
|
|
about cause of error, usually allowing you to deduce what is wrong without
|
|
entering the debugger or core analysis.

<li class="listitem">

Separation of the test errors description (test log) from the results
|
|
report summary (test results report) The information produced during
|
|
test execution, including all error, warning and info messages from the
|
|
test tools, executed test units notification constitute the test log.
|
|
By default all entries in the test log are directed to the standard output.
|
|
Once testing is completed the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span> may produce a
|
|
summary test report with different levels of detail. The test report
|
|
is by default directed to the standard error output.

|
Flexibility in what is shown in the output</simpara> The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
|
|
provides the ability to configure what if shown in both the test log
|
|
and the test report. The configuration is supported both at runtime,
|
|
during test module invocation and at compile time from within a test
|
|
module.

<li class="listitem">
|
|
Flexibility in how output is formatted</simpara> The <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
|
|
provides the ability to configure the format of the test module output.
|
|
At the moment only 2 formats are supported by the <span class="emphasis"><em>UTF</em></span>
|
|
itself, the well defined public interface allows you to customize an
|
|
output for your purposes almost any way you want.
