Description

Storm Petrel Expected Baselines Rewriter is a freeware automation tool, a powerful code rewrite solution, and an incremental source generator that produces modified versions of unit and integration tests. It automates the rewrite of the code by updating the expected baselines in the original tests, streamlining the process of baseline creation and accelerating test development.

Main Functions

Generate Modified Test Copies

Create modified "StormPetrel" test copies using .NET Incremental Generators with embedded context code.

Update Expected Baselines

Automate updating expected baselines by capturing and converting actual baselines to C# code.

Automate Baseline Creation

Run generated test copies to overwrite expected baselines and reduce manual effort and time.

Component Integration

Use NuGet packages for fast development integration.

Facilitate Manual Review

Apply manual review of updated baselines for accuracy after using automated testing tools.

Key Features

Framework Support

Enhanced compatibility with leading test frameworks including XUnit, NUnit, and MSTest.

Variable Pair Configuration

Flexible configuration options for actual/expected variable pairs, accommodating multiple sets.

Customizable Algorithms

Provision for custom or configurable algorithms to generate or dump expected baselines, leveraging the Storm Petrel test execution context.

Baseline Instantiation

Comprehensive support for expected baselines instantiated within the test method or sourced from external methods with variable arguments.

Free .NET Tests Updating Baseline

Storm Petrel simplifies the process of updating baselines in .NET tests, offering a free solution that reduces manual work.

Manual

Step 1: Modify Your Tests

Add StormPetrel NuGet package to your unit or integration tests project to enable Storm Petrel to generate modified test copies.
Make optional StormPetrel configuration of the project.
This will trigger the .NET Incremental Generators to create the modified "StormPetrel" test copies.

Step 2: Generate Modified Test Copies

Execute the generated "StormPetrel" test copies to capture the actual baselines and convert them to C# code.
The captured baselines will be converted to C# code using the VarDump package or ObjectDumper.NET package, or using your custom converter.
The tool will automatically overwrite the expected baselines in the original tests or other specified files.

Step 3: Review the Changes

Manually review the updated baselines to ensure accuracy.
Make any necessary adjustments to the tests or baselines as needed
