Set Up Example Tests

To explore different ways to run tests, create a class-based test and a function-based test

in your current working folder. For the class-based test file use the DocPolynomTest

example test presented in the matlab.unittest.qualifications.Verifiable

example. For the function-based test file use the axesPropertiesTest example test

presented in “Write Test Using Setup and Teardown Functions” on page 33-35.

Run All Tests in Class or Function

Use the run method of the TestCase class to directly run tests contained in a single test

file. When running tests directly, you do not need to explicitly create a Test array.

% Directly run a single file of class-based tests

results1 = run(DocPolynomTest);

% Directly run a single file of function-based tests

results2 = run(axesPropertiesTest);

You can also assign the test file output to a variable and run the tests using the functional

form or dot notation.

% Create Test or TestCase objects

t1 = DocPolynomTest; % TestCase object from class-based test

t2 = axesPropertiesTest; % Test object from function-based test

% Run tests using functional form

results1 = run(t1);
