Test framework concepts

The Test framework enables you to validate the behavior of the objects you create. The tests you create interact with your objects, but the test code is separate from your object's code. In addition, you can test the behavior of your objects independently from the user interface, which allows you to write tests early in the development process that are not affected by changes to the user interface.

The RunTest program is the part of the Test environment that you use to perform your tests. The RunTest program allows you to specify parameters for your tests at run time. You start the RunTest program from the shell, which means you can write a shell script that can automate how you perform the test. This allows you to easily create regression tests.
