TestEvaluate[test]

runs a TestObject.

✖
TestEvaluate[assoc]

runs a test specified by assoc.

✖
TestEvaluate[{test1,test2,…}]

runs the list of tests testi.

Details

  • TestEvaluate returns a TestObject.
  • In TestEvaluate[assoc], elements of assoc can include:
  • "Input"Truetest input
    "ExpectedOutput"Trueevaluated expected output
    "ExpectedMessages"{}messages passed to the test
    "SameTest"SameQfunction to compare actual and expected output
    "TestID"Noneunique identifier for the test
    "MemoryConstraint"Infinitymemory (in bytes) the test is allowed to use
    "TimeConstraint"Infinity
  • time (in seconds) the test is allowed to use
    • "MetaInformation"<||>extra information associated with the test

Basic Examples  (1)Summary of the most common use cases

Create a test using TestCreate:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0b8c14u9m8-brp3na
Out[1]=1

Run the test using TestEvaluate:

In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0b8c14u9m8-vnzkyp
Out[2]=2

TestEvaluate will always run a TestObject, even if it is already evaluated:

In[3]:=3

Out[3]=3

Evaluate a test by specifying an Association:

In[4]:=4
✖

Out[4]=4

Possible Issues  (2)Common pitfalls and unexpected behavior

TestEvaluate will always use a set of defaults if all keys are not specified:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0b8c14u9m8-26sxim
Out[1]=1

An empty association will still be considered a valid test:

In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0b8c14u9m8-ip5etv
Out[2]=2

When using an Association, certain properties will be automatically wrapped with HoldForm:
