Repository classification lifecycle test case

This test validates that classifications can be managed through all stages of their life cycle.

Classifications are attached to entities. They provide additional properties and a label that characterizes the entity that it is connected to.

Each type of classification is defined by a ClassificationDef. This test is run for each ClassificationDef supported by the repository. The ClassificationDef includes a list of entity types that support this type of classification.

Operation

The classification lifecycle test extracts each of the type definitions the entities supported by the ClassificationDef. It creates an entity of each type and for classifications and create an instance of that classification and a corresponding entity so it can drive the classification through each phase of its lifecycle validating that the classification values are correctly maintained.

Assertions

  • repository-classification-lifecycle-classificationName-entityType-01 - No classifications attached to new entity of type typeName.
  • repository-classification-lifecycle-classificationName-entityType-02 - typeName entity return when classification added.
  • repository-classification-lifecycle-classificationName-entityType-03 - classification added to entity of type typeName.
  • repository-classification-lifecycle-classificationName-entityType-04 - classification properties added to entity of type typeName.
  • repository-classification-lifecycle-classificationName-entityType-05 - classification removed from entity of type typeName.
