MBTestBench Download

MBtestbench provides debugging and automated test monitoring
of your MapBasic applications. Test monitoring and reporting is the primary motivation for MBTestBench, although new MapBasic users should find the debugging facilities to be of value.
A user environment comprising a number of applications written in different languages, potentially has the MapBasic component as the weakest link due to inadequate test facilities in the supporting tools for the language. Of course, a very thorough test plan can make up for this but probably requires more work to implement than in other programming environments. The nature of MapBasic as a scripting-style language also provides a false sense of security - the implication that it is less complex than other languages. In fact, MapBasic applications can be as complex in lines of code, logic, data accessed as programs produced in any language.
White-box testing is the process of using the application procedural design to produce test cases which exercise all independent paths, logical decisions, loops within and outside bounds, and data structures. This is a very onerous process which MBTestBench will assist in performing. Most applications are never tested adequately because of the nature of the test process.
Black-box testing is the process of testing with user requirements as the guideline. At the end of this process, MBTestBench will reveal whether the testing has in fact exercised all portions of code.
