NEXT_TEST
Ada Test Script Language
Purpose
The NEXT_TEST instruction starts a TEST block that is linked to the previous test block.
Syntax
NEXT_TEST [ LOOP <nb> ]
where:
-
<nb> is an integer expression strictly greater than 1.
Description
The NEXT_TEST instruction allows you to repeat a series of test contained within a previously defined TEST block.
It contains one more ELEMENT block. It does not contain the FAMILY instruction.
For this new test, a number of iterations can be specified by the keyword LOOP.
The NEXT_TEST instructions can only appear in a TEST ... END TEST block.
The main difference between a NEXT_TEST block and an ELEMENT block is when you use an INIT IN statement within a test block:
-
If the INIT IN is in a TEST block, there will be a loop over the entire TEST block, without consideration of the ELEMENT blocks that it might contain.
If the INIT IN is inside a NEXT_TEST block however, the loop will not affect the ELEMENT blocks within other TEST blocks
Example
SERVICE COMPUTE_HISTO
# x1, x2, y1, y2 : integer ;
# histo : T_HISTO ;
TEST 1
FAMILY nominal
ELEMENT
...
END ELEMENT
NEXT_TEST LOOP 2
ELEMENT
