All Implemented Interfaces:

StrategyType

Direct Known Subclasses:

CollectionStrategy, JMLCollectionStrategy, ObjectStrategy

public abstract class NewObjectAbstractExtensibleStrategyDecorator

extends Object

implements StrategyType

A decorator for strategies that allows for easy extension in the "new object" style to the test data of the underlying strategy.

This type provides an extension mechanism that is easier to use than a composite. To extend the test data, make a subclass that overrides the make(int) method; that method provides the additional data for testing.

Field Detail

defaultData

private StrategyType defaultData

The default data, returned first in the iterations.

addedData

private StrategyType addedData

The added data, returned after the default data in the iterations.

NewObjectAbstractExtensibleStrategyDecorator

public NewObjectAbstractExtensibleStrategyDecorator(StrategyType strat)

make

protected Object make(int n)

Return the nth test data item. The default implementation of this method provides no data. To provide additional test data, you should override this method, without making a super call to it.

iterator

public IndefiniteIterator iterator()

Description copied from interface: StrategyType

Compute a fresh indefinite iterator, which can be used to provide test data of some reference type. The indefinite iterator returned should be freshly created. Usually it should not be at its end. However, in rare cases it might make sense to have an empty iterator be computed (e.g., by filtering).
