2.Write an interview question that obtains the value of the environment variable from the user.
To obtain the value of environment variables from users, test developers must write an interview class and create the required interview questions. If an interview class already exists in the test source, the developer can either add new questions to the existing interview or create a new
For this example, we will assume that we have an existing interview class (SampleInterview.java) in the Simple Test Suite source and that we are adding a new question about whether the target implementation supports a specific feature.
For an example of linking a new interview class to an existing interview, see Chapter 3 “Creating a Test Suite Configuration Interview” on page 28.
The following is an example of question code that can be added to an interview.
//The added question:Does the implementation support the feature?
private YesNoQuestion qFeatureSupport = new YesNoQuestion(this, "featureSupport") {
public void clear() { setValue(YesNoQuestion.NO);
}
protected void export(Map data) {
boolean b = (value == YES); data.put("isFeatureSupported", String.valueOf(b));
}
In the question code, the isFeatureSupported environment variable name must be consistent with the name used in Step 1 for selectIf (in the test description file). Also in the question code, featureSupport is the unique question name that becomes part of the question key created in Step 3 for use in both the map and the properties files.
The following example is a complete configuration interview
(SampleInterview.java) that contains the added question code.
public class SampleInterview extends Interview { /**
*@param parent
*@throws Fault
*/
public SampleInterview(MidpTckBaseInterview parent) throws Fault {
super(parent, "sample"); init();
}
