there is no general restriction on how the tested classes do their work. if your class under test needs to talk to a server to compute its result that should be fine. just be aware that your test application (your classes under test together with the test harness classes) underlies the same restrictions as any other application when talking to a server. so it might be necessary that you load the test application from the same server your classes under test want to talk to when the test runs. also, your test harness has to be able to handle asynchronicity if you use asynchronous network requests. this is only the case with the latest trunk version of Testrunner (and will be in the upcoming 0.8.2 release, scheduled for early March). if you are working with 0.8.1 sdk you might be restricted to synchronous requests as far as the Testrunner is concerned, which might be fine for unit testing but is generally not suitable for a production app. so that would limit your possibility to test production classes that do net i/o. hth, t. > Thanks, > Robust > > thron7-2 wrote: > >> the test runner is best for testing the API of specific classes, one at >> a time. you would use it to e.g. automatically invoke a method on a >> class instance with various parameters and check the return values. >> these tests should require no manual intervention and are essentially >> non-gui. >> selenium and the simulator on the other hand are about gui tests. you >> simulate an end user interacting with your application's user interface. >> this is good for testing the app's gui and its internal logic/backend >> access/etc. as far as it becomes apparent at the user interface. >> >> hth, >> t. >> >> robust wrote: >> >>> Hello All, >>> >>> I am trying to write some test cases against my application and run.
