Documentation

Definition

A check unit is a reusable, independent programming unit, made up of a single check class. Check units test a certain configuration context, and are the building blocks of business configuration checks.

A business configuration check (BC check) is a collection of check units.

Use

As part of a BC check, check units test whether the correct configuration has been achieved for a given configuration scenario, especially one which involves a number of application components and may have predictable error-prone areas. That is to say, the BC check is specific, and is constructed to test specific elements of a configuration. It is not a blanket test covering all aspects of a configuration.

A BC check can be modified by adding or removing individual check units based on their relevance in a given situation. A BC check can contain 1-n check units and individual check units may contain further 'included' checks. While technically independent of each other, included check units are always processed before the check units to which they belong.

The BC check defines what is to be checked or validated, executes the individual check units, and displays the results in the log.

It is possible to set an indicator to prevent further processing of an individual check unit once an error is raised in any of its included check units.
