Action Composition

Paramixel test plans are ordinary Action trees.

Common composition patterns​

Ordered run-all​

Action suite = Sequential.of(
        "suite",
        Direct.of("step 1", context -> {}),
        Direct.of("step 2", context -> {}));

Ordered fail-fast​

Action suite = DependentSequential.of(
        "suite",
        Direct.of("step 1", context -> {}),
        Direct.of("step 2", context -> {}));

Concurrent children​

Action suite = Parallel.of(
        "suite",
        Direct.of("a", context -> {}),
        Direct.of("b", context -> {}));

Setup / body / teardown​

Action suite = Lifecycle.of(
        "suite",
        Direct.of("before", context -> {}),
        Direct.of("main", context -> {}),
        Direct.of("after", context -> {}));

Nesting​

Actions can be nested arbitrarily.

Action suite = Sequential.of(
        "suite",
        Lifecycle.of(
                "case 1",
                Direct.of("before", context -> {}),
                Parallel.of(
                        "checks",
                        Direct.of("a", context -> {}),
                        Direct.of("b", context -> {})),
                Direct.of("after", context -> {})),
        Noop.of("finished"));

Choosing between sequential variants​

  • Sequential - always run every child
  • DependentSequential - stop on first failure
  • RandomSequential - shuffle, but still run every child
  • DependentRandomSequential - shuffle and stop on first failure
