Interface Loader

All Known Implementing Classes:

CSVDataLoader, EmptyLoader, ExcelDataLoader, XMLDataLoader

public interface Loader

An interface for different types of loader. This would ultimately be used by the users of EasyTest as well to provide their custom Loaders. Currently, EasyTest supports three Loaders internally :

ExcelDataLoader - To load data from XLS files

XMLDataLoader - To load data from XML files. Look at the Schema for XML at : https://github.com/EaseTech/easytest-core/blob/master/src/main/resources/testDataSchema.xsd

CSVDataLoader - To load data from a CSV file In addition users can define their own custom Loaders and use them in their test classes by specifying the LoaderType.CUSTOM loader type in their DataLoader annotation

Method Detail

loadData

Map<String,List<Map<String,Object>>> loadData(Resource resource)

Method responsible to Load the test data from the list of files passed as parameter

Parameters:

resource - from which to load the data

Returns:

a Map consisting of the methodName as key and a List of Key/value pairs as the value of the Map. This is currently not a user friendly way of exposing the test data.

writeData

void writeData(Resource resource,
               Map<String,List<Map<String,Object>>> actualData,
               String... methodNames)

Method responsible for writing the test data and actual result back to the file

Parameters:

resource - the resource to which data needs to be written

methodNames - the names of the method to write the data for

actualData - a Map consisting of the methodName as key and a List of Key/value pairs as the value of the Map. This Map contains the input as well as output data This is currently not a user friendly way of exposing the test data.
