Extensions

Extensibility

LambdaTest is designed to be easily extensible.

• Test generation. The clean simple design of LambdaTest makes generation of tests easy. See the Generate demo for some simple examples.
• New actions. New actions are easily defined. See the code in package.scala for examples. Actions typically use the methods of LambdaState and the eval method of LambdaAct. These methods should not be called directly in user test code. Wrappers are one kind of user defined action (see the Wrap demo).
• Alternate reporters. Reporters collect and display the results of tests. Reporters are included for both StdOut (for tests run directly) and SBT (for tests run using the SBT test command). Custom reporters can created by extending the LambdaReporter trait.

Current Extensions

• The LambdaTestTiming extension provides actions testing execution times.
• The LambdaTestAsync extension provides actions for testing Akka actors and logs.
• The LambdaTestCapture extension captures test results as in-memory data structure or Json to file or log.
