objectscript-unit-test

Generate ObjectScript unit tests for an existing class by using live IRIS introspection to automatically create %UnitTest.TestCase scaffolds. This ensures the generated tests reflect actual runtime behavior and are immediately ready to compile and run.

Yes, you can generate test scaffolds for specific public methods in ObjectScript. The tool supports selective method generation, allowing you to target individual methods or automatically scaffold tests for all public methods of a given class in your local IRIS environment.

Live introspection in IRIS unit test generation is the process of querying a running IRIS instance to read class structures. It ensures generated %UnitTest.TestCase scaffolds match the actual runtime method signatures, avoiding static assumptions that lead to broken tests.

Yes, this unit test scaffolding tool requires a running local IRIS environment. It relies on live introspection data from the active instance to accurately read class definitions and generate compilable %UnitTest.TestCase scaffolds that align with your repository's testing conventions.

Using live introspection instead of static analysis for ObjectScript unit tests ensures scaffolds match actual runtime behavior. It queries the live IRIS environment directly, producing accurate, compilable test cases that validate real method signatures after refactors or bug fixes.
