Verification Point Framework Reference |
An implementation of this interface creates a Verification Point Data object based on the verification point metadata in the specialized Verification Point object.
A component implementing this interface is a pluggable link between a Verification Point component (which defines a verification point's metadata) and a Verification Point Data component (which encapsulates and serializes the data for a verification point).
When you implement a Verification Point Data interface from this interface, you implement the CaptureData
method for populating a Verification Point Data object for a given Verification Point object. The Verification Point Data Provider interface knows about the structure of both the Verification Point Data interface (which it is building) and the Verification Point interface (which specifies the data to capture).
This is an important abstraction for general types of verification points (such as object data or object properties), where many different objects may provide access to the same type of data.
An implementation of this interface can be plugged into an existing verification point implementation to provide verification point data from a new verification point data source.
An implementation of this interface is used with static verification points (for building expected and actual data objects) and with dynamic verification points (for building actual data objects only).
Commonly used with QualityArchitect.
QualityArchitect is required for use of this interface.
This method builds a VerificationPointData
object.
CaptureData
(Object
As Variant, VP As IVerificationPoint) As IVerificationPointData
Object
The object-under-test. The first parameter of the
PerformTest
method provides the contents of this parameter.
VP
The
IVerificationPoint
object that contains the verification point's metadata.
An instance of the specialized IVerificationPointData
interface populated with the captured data.
This method captures data according to the metadata in the IVerificationPoint
interface. The framework may use the returned IVerificationPointData
object as either an expected or an actual data object.
