!2 The aim of the baseline decision table is to make tests easier to read.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!3 Background
|
||
|
|
The idea of a [[decision table][.FitNesse.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.SliM.DecisionTable]] is to demonstrate how different combinations of input parameters generate different results.
|
||
|
|
To make the impact of each parameter to the output results transparent it is good practice to modify just one parameter from row to row.
|
||
|
|
For big tables with many input parameters it is often not immediately visible to the reader which parameter changes from row to row.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!3 Syntax
|
||
|
|
As a user of the '''baseline decision table''' you specify in the first row below the header in each column the values for all input and output parameters.
|
||
|
|
This defines your ''base scenario'' and so far this is 100% identical to a normal decision table.
|
||
|
|
In all following lines you just specify the values which differ from the ''base scenario'' all other columns are left empty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This makes your table more readable. It is also easier to maintain in case a value must be changed.
|
||
|
|
Don't repeat yourself is a good rule even when you write test cases. :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!3 Fixture Code
|
||
|
|
When the baseline decision table is tested all empty columns are filled by the Slim test system with the corresponding values from the ''base scenario''.
|
||
|
|
In all other aspects the bahviour is identical to the decision table.
|
||
|
|
Your fixture code is identical to a [[decision table][.FitNesse.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.SliM.DecisionTable]]. The fixture will not be able to identif any difference between a baseline decision table and a normal [[decision table][.FitNesse.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.SliM.DecisionTable]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!3 Example
|
||
|
|
Let's look at an example which you know already from the [[Decision Table][.FitNesse.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.SliM.DecisionTable]]
