All/no/some/single rows validate a predicate
This feature is intended to support the assertion that all rows (or no rows or some rows or a single row) of a result-set validate a predicate. For example, you want to test that a query effectively returns all the sales with a cost higher or equal to 1000$. A check could be that the value returned by the query for TotalAmountWithVAT is greater or equal than 1000 for each row!
For more complex testing conditions than all/no/some/single rows, check the advanced row-count page.
System under test
The system-under-test is a query, please reports to other tests for more information about how to define a query. More info here.
Assertion
To specify this kind of test, you need to define an assertion with the xml elements all-rows or no-rows or some-rows or single-row.
- all-rows will passes the test only if all the rows of the result-set validate the predicate, if at least one row doesn’t validate the predicate, the test will fail.
- At the opposite, no-rows will fail if at least one row validate the predicate (and succeed in the other case).
- some-rows will succeed if the result-set contains at least one row validating the predicate. It will fail if no rows are validating it.
- single-row will succeed if the result-set exactly contains one single row validating the predicate. It will fail if no rows or more than one row are validating it.
If the result-set is empty, all-rows and no-rows assertions will succeed but some-rows and single-row will fail.
