XML Manager Software Testing

We have tested XML Manager using a comprehensive set of test cases. No release is made unless every test passes, and we check each release against all tests. We are always increasing the number of tests, especially from customer feedback. We have documented our tests on this page, so that you can get a clear idea of the quality of the XML Manager. We are not afraid to let you see into our development process, it's part of our software philosophy. We show you the source code of our tests and you can determine for yourself whether we have done a good job or not (and of course we have!). We also document our bugs just so they don't feel left out.

Load/Save Tests

We cover the main XmlManager class interface with a full set of tests for every load and save method. The tests use a simple standard XML file.

• Load
• LoadAsLists
• LoadResultSet
• LoadTableModel
• LoadBeans
• LoadRecordListener
• Save
• SaveAsLists
• SaveResultSet
• SaveTableModel
• SaveBeans
• SaveRecordProvider

Interface Tests

These tests are designed to cover the general functionality of XML Manager API classes.

• XmlManager
• XmlSpec
• BadRecords
• Exceptions
• CallSequence
• Background

XPath Support Tests

Here we test our compliance with the XPath specification. We have deliberately decided not to support 100% of the XPath specification. We've made a decision to give you increased speed and memory-stability instead. See our article about XPath support for more details.

• Attribute
• Axis
• Condition
• Edge
• Expression
• Existence
• FieldPath
• Followers
• Function
• Group
• Linear
• Name
• Namespace
• Position
• SubDiv
• SubMatch
• SyntaxError
• RecordSanity
• Text
• Variable

Performance Tests

And, of course, we test performance. The following tests can be a bit demanding, so don't run them before making sure that you understand what they will do. Some of them require a couple of hours.

• Performance
• Memory
• Threads

Miscellaneous Tests

These tests cover general aspects of XML Manager's functionality.

• OutNode
• Output
• PointHandler
• SubPathManager
• TargetPath
• TreeContext
• TreeNode
• XmlInputHandler
• XmlOutputHandler
• XmlWriter
