LOGGING TESTING ACTIVITIES |
|
|
|
| | For some applications, you may find it helpful to log runtime errors in a text file or even a database such as Access. In such cases, it's faster to use text files located in log directory located on the client or server machine. |

Understanding the Need for Logging Class Test Results |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Logging class test results helps in two ways. First, the test/quality assurance team can use the results to compare with the team's test script results. Second, the tasks of current and future maintenance programmers will be made much less tedious because they can easily pinpoint class methods that are in error. For corporate developers, this speeds up the process of resolving user complaints. For entrepreneurial and commercial developers, customer satisfaction will be greatly improved, giving you an edge on your competition. |

Remember the testReturns method of the TestClass earlier? Recall the error handling code: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public Function testReturns(ByVal argInteger As Variant) _
As TestClass
Dim anotherTestClass As TestClass
On Error GoTo errtestReturns
Exit Function
errtestReturns:
Dim sMethodName As String
sMethodName = testReturns
theErrorHandler.processVBTypeError Err, Me, sMethodName
sMethodName =
End Function |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The theErrorHandler object has a form, as illustrated in Figure 8.3. |
