B4J Code Snippet Unit Tests Concept

Hi gang!

I wanted to check if my classes delivered on what they promised. This is just a simple example to test.

• Initialize sets up the list used to collect failures.
• RunAll resets the counters, runs eight groups of tests, and returns a Map with the assertion count, failure count, failure details, and summary.
• RunCase calls a test method by name using CallSub. It catches unexpected exceptions so one broken test doesn’t stop the remaining groups.
• TestDialects, TestSelectAndConditions, TestReadHelpers, TestWrites, TestStateManagement, TestQueryErrors, TestSchemaCreate, and TestSchemaOperations exercise the query and schema builders.
• AssertEqual, AssertTrue, AssertContains, AssertFalseContains, and AssertNoError check results; RecordFailure stores any failure.
• Helpers such as ResultListItem, ResultListSize, EmptyMap, and StringList make the test cases easier to write.

One limitation: AssertEqual compares values after converting them to strings, so it isn’t suitable for precise type-aware or nested Map/List comparisons. The runner also logs failures rather than exposing a rich report or setting a standard test-process exit status.
