Write stateful properties

Import the library

To perform stateful testing, in addition to importing kiri_check/kiri_check.dart, you need to import kiri_check/stateful_test.dart.

Example:

import 'package:kiri_check/kiri_check.dart';
import 'package:kiri_check/stateful_test.dart';

Write process

The stateful testing process is divided into three steps: preparing the model and the real system, defining the Behavior class, and executing it.

1. Implement the model and the real system

   To perform stateful testing, first prepare the code for the model and the real system. The model serves as a reference for comparison with the real system. There are no specific classes that need to be inherited, so feel free to implement them as you like.

2. Define the Behavior

   Define a Behavior class and specify the test content. Specifically, include the following three elements:

   • Generate the model and the real system: The initialState method generates the abstract model, and the createSystem method generates the real system using that model. These objects represent the initial state of the test.
   • Terminate the real system: Override the destroySystem method to describe the termination process of the real system at the end of the test.
   • Define the commands to be executed randomly: The generateCommands method generates a list of commands that will be executed randomly during the test.

3. Execute the Behavior

   Execute the defined Behavior. Use the runBehavior function to start the test.
