TestComponent

Introduction

The base class for test components.

Discussion

Test suites are a composite of components. The basic unit is a single TestCase, which may be tested as is. Several instances of TestCase are grouped in a TestSuite, which can test all its tests. A TestSuite object may contain other TestSuite objects, which may contain other suites. Testing a composite returns a TestResult object.
