Seddryck / NBi

NBi is a testing framework (add-on to NUnit) for Business Intelligence and Data Access. The main goal of this framework is to let users create tests with a declarative approach based on an Xml syntax. By the means of NBi, you don't need to develop C# or Java code to specify your tests! Either, you don't need Visual Studio or Eclipse to compile your test suite. Just create an Xml file and let the framework interpret it and play your tests. The framework is designed as an add-on of NUnit but with the possibility to port it easily to other testing frameworks.

Support temporal assertions regarding intersection of a time period and a given datetime #691

Open Seddryck opened 2 years ago

Seddryck commented 2 years ago

It should be possible to assert that a result-set, with a time period, is including/leading/lagging a given datetime. A time period is defined as the closed-open time interval between two datetime.

For lags and leads, it's possible to define a variant immediately="true" to specify that the time-period should starts/ends at the given date.

<system-under-test>
  <result-set>
    ...
  </result-set>
</system-under-test>
<assert>
  <leads timestamp="...">
    <time-period start="#3" end="EndPeriodColumn"/>
    <group-by>...<group-by>
  </leads >
</assert>

The optional group-by let you define that system-under-test rows should not be tested as a single set of rows but should be subdivided into subsets, each subset being defined by the group-by.
