Repository entity reference copy lifecycle test case¶

This test validates that reference copies of entities can be managed through all stages of their life cycle.

Operation¶

The entity reference copy lifecycle tests extract each of the type definitions for entity and create an instance of that entity ON THE CTS server. This generates an event across the cohort, that is received by the TUT server, which then creates a reference copy of the entity. By manipulating the master instance of the entity on the CTS server, and by issuing test operations directly against the reference copy on the TUT server, the test case verifies that the TUT supports all permissible operations on the reference copy, and correctly prevents any non-permissible operations from being performed.

Finally, the testcase deletes the master instance (from the CTS) and reference copy (in the TUT).

Assertions¶

repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-01 - typeName reference entity is known.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-02 - typeName reference entity can be retrieved as EntitySummary.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-03 - typeName reference entity can be retrieved as EntityDetail.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-04 - typeName reference entity matches the entity that was saved.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-05 - typeName reference entity has no relationships.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-06 - typeName reference entity status cannot be updated.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-07 - typeName reference entity properties cannot be updated.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-08 - typeName reference entity type cannot be changed.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-09 - typeName reference entity identity cannot be changed.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-10 - typeName reference entity purged.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-11 - typeName reference entity saved.
repository-entity-reference-copy-lifecycle-12 - typeName reference entity re-homed.

Discovered Properties¶

The discovered properties for this test show which of the optional capabilities are supported for this type.

typeName reference copy support : Enabled/Disabled - indicates whether the optional support for creating and managing reference copies is enabled or not.
