TestID

TestID

is an option to TestCreate, VerificationTest and IntermediateTest that specifies a string used as an identifier for the test.

Details

  • A TestID can be any expression, but is typically a unique string.
  • TestIDAutomatic creates a unique ID by doing a hash of the test expression.

Examples

Basic Examples  (5)

Assign a TestID:

Wolfram Language code: TestCreate[Expand[(1 + x) ^ 3], 1 + 3 x + 3 x^2 + x^3, TestID -> "1u834us03"]

Create a test:

Wolfram Language code: test = TestCreate[2 + 2, 4, TestID -> "MyTestMultiplication"];

Use "TestID" to extract the original value of the option:

Wolfram Language code: test["TestID"]

A TestID can be any expression:

Wolfram Language code: Table[ VerificationTest[n + 2 > 0, True, TestID -> {"NumericTest", n}], {n, 3} ]

By default, the TestID will be a Hash of the test:

Wolfram Language code: TestCreate[2 + 2, 4]["TestID"]

The TestID will change if the input of the TestCreate expression is different:

Wolfram Language code: TestCreate[2 + 2, 5]["TestID"]

Use CreateUUID to create random identifiers every time:

Wolfram Language code: TestCreate[2 + 2, 5, TestID :> CreateUUID[]]["TestID"]
