Acceptance test library commands

  • Article

Command classes are responsible for running business operations. They let you use fluent application programming interfaces (APIs) to set the parameters of these operations.

Naming convention

AtlCommand<ModuleName><EntityName><ExecuteBusinessOperation>

In this naming convention:

  • <ModuleName> is based on the names of the modules on the main menu. You should use a short version or an abbreviation to support brevity of test code.
  • <EntityName> is optional and is used when the command applies to different types of entities.
  • <ExecuteBusinessOperation> is a verb that represents the name of the business operation.

Examples

AtlCommandInventMark

AtlCommandSalesReturnOrderLineRegister

Implementation

Command objects that are returned should implement the AtlICommand interface and should inherit from the AtlCommand class.

Command objects should provide fluent setter methods that are used to set the parameters of the command.

Example

salesLine.pick().setInventDims([locationOut]).setQty(pickedQty).execute();

Fluent setter methods

Commands allow for two types of fluent setter methods, for methods and set methods:

  • for – These methods are used for command parameters that represent the entities that the command applies to.

    For example, the invoice command can apply to sales orders. Therefore, a for method is used to set the sales order that the invoice command applies to.

  • set – These methods are used for all other parameters of the command.

    For example, when you reserve a sales line, you usually specify a quantity. The quantity isn't something that the command applies to but is instead a simple parameter of the command. Therefore, a set method is used to specify the quantity parameter of the reservation command.

Naming convention

for<CommandParameterName>

set<CommandParameterName>

In this naming convention, <CommandParameterName> is the name of the parameter that is being set for the command by using the fluent method.

Examples

onHandAdjustment.forItem(item).setQuantity(10).execute();
	
picking.forSalesLine(salesLine).setInventDims([warehouse, batch1]).setQuantity(10).execute();
