Abstract

Techniques for test flow control include providing a test hierarchy, the test hierarchy includes a collection of test methods, each test method calling test assertion methods for checking the correctness of production code, and each test assertion call defines the test execution flow within the test hierarchy in an event of a failure. The flow inside the test hierarchy is controlled according to a parameter of the test assertion method call, in response to the event.
