Qualifications are methods for testing values and responding to failures. This table lists

the types of qualifications.

Verifica

tions

Use this qualification to

produce and record failures

without throwing an

exception. The remaining

tests run to completion.

matlab.unittest.qualifications.Verifi

able

Assump

tions

Use this qualification to

ensure that a test runs only

when certain preconditions

are satisfied. However,

running the test without

satisfying the preconditions

does not produce a test

failure. When an assumption

failure occurs, the testing

framework marks the test as

filtered.

Asserti

ons

Use this qualification to

ensure that the preconditions

of the current test are met.

matlab.unittest.qualifications.Assert

able

Fatal

assertio

ns

Use this qualification when

the failure at the assertion

point renders the remainder

of the current test method

invalid or the state is

unrecoverable.

The MATLAB Unit Testing Framework provides approximately 25 qualification methods

for each type of qualification. For example, use verifyClass or assertClass to test

that a value is of an expected class, and use assumeTrue or fatalAssertTrue to test if

the actual value is true. For a summary of qualification methods, see “Types of

Qualifications” on page 33-60.

Often, each unit test function obtains an actual value by exercising the code that you are

testing and defines the associated expected value. For example, if you are testing the
