Inheriting test classes

[aidy]

Hi,

All my GUI test classes contain this code within the constructor.

class ST_MSE_33
def initialize

start_browser
login

................

rescue => e
p "test failed: #{e.message}"
p e.backtrace
ensure
log_out
close_window
end
end

That is, there is always the same start and same end, but a different
middle.
Is there any way I could use inheritance to avoid duplication?

Thank You

Aidy

I would use the following construct:

class GeneralBehaviour
def initialize
start_browser
login

specific_behaviour

...
end

# this is only necessary if GeneralBehaviour can be used
# on its own
def specific_behaviour
end
end

class SpecifB1 < GeneralBehaviour
def specific_behaviour
# do sth specific
end
end
