Lexical.Utils.Permutation

Lexical.Utils.Permutation is a class library for unit testing. It's a toolkit for feeding different variations of parameters.

PermutationSetup is populated with properties and possible values.

PermutationSetup permutation = new PermutationSetup();

// Add property "Color"
permutation.Add("Color", "Red");
permutation.Add("Color", "Green");
permutation.Add("Color", "Blue");

// Add property "Number"
permutation.Add("Number", "10");
permutation.Add("Number", "100");
permutation.Add("Number", "1000");

// Add property "Size"
permutation.Add("Size", "Small");
permutation.Add("Size", "Medium");
permutation.Add("Size", "Large");

Every scenario can be iterated.

foreach (Scenario scenario in permutation.Scenarios)
{
    string color = scenario["Color"].Name;
    string number = scenario["Number"].Name;
    string size = scenario["Size"].Name;

    Console.WriteLine($"Color={color}, Number={number}, Size={size}");
}

The result. (Click here)

Color=Red, Number=10, Size=Small
Color=Green, Number=10, Size=Small
Color=Blue, Number=10, Size=Small
Color=Red, Number=100, Size=Small
Color=Green, Number=100, Size=Small
Color=Blue, Number=100, Size=Small
Color=Red, Number=1000, Size=Small
Color=Green, Number=1000, Size=Small
Color=Blue, Number=1000, Size=Small
Color=Red, Number=10, Size=Medium
Color=Green, Number=10, Size=Medium
Color=Blue, Number=10, Size=Medium
Color=Red, Number=100, Size=Medium
Color=Green, Number=100, Size=Medium
Color=Blue, Number=100, Size=Medium
Color=Red, Number=1000, Size=Medium
Color=Green, Number=1000, Size=Medium
Color=Blue, Number=1000, Size=Medium
Color=Red, Number=10, Size=Large
Color=Green, Number=10, Size=Large
Color=Blue, Number=10, Size=Large
Color=Red, Number=100, Size=Large
Color=Green, Number=100, Size=Large
Color=Blue, Number=100, Size=Large
Color=Red, Number=1000, Size=Large
Color=Green, Number=1000, Size=Large
Color=Blue, Number=1000, Size=Large

Each value can be associated with an object. The object is initialized with a delegate Func<Run, object>, and can be cleaned with another delegate Action<Run>.

PermutationSetup permutation = new PermutationSetup();

// Add property "Color"
permutation.Add("Color", "Red", null, run => Color.Red, run => { /*finalizer here*/ });
permutation.Add("Color", "Green", null, run => Color.Green);
permutation.Add("Color", "Blue", null, run => Color.Blue);

// Add property "Number"
permutation.Add("Number", "10", null, run => 10);
permutation.Add("Number", "100", null, run => 100);
permutation.Add("Number", "1000", null, run => 1000);

// Add property "Size"
permutation.Add("Size", "Small", null, run => Size.Small);
permutation.Add("Size", "Medium", null, run => Size.Medium);
permutation.Add("Size", "Large", null, run => Size.Large);

Use Run() to execute the initializers and finalizers.

foreach (Scenario scenario in permutation.Scenarios)
{
    using (Run run = scenario.Run().Initialize())
    {
        Color color = (Color)run["Color"];
        int number = (int)run["Number"];
        Size size = (Size)run["Size"];

        Console.WriteLine($"Color={color}, Number={number}, Size={size}");
    }
}
