unit testing - RSpec it block with variable name -

-

i have function get_type returns string given int:

def get_type(integer)     types = [...]     return types[integer] end

when testing rspec, tried doing following:

describe 'function'     context 'on valid input'         let(:input){ 2 }         let(:type){ 'large' }         let(:result){ get_type input }         it{ expect(result).to eq(type) }     end end

however, gives message:

function on valid input should eq "large"

without mention input, sounding function should return "large".

how should message changed like:

function on valid input should eq type

or meaningful message? name it block:

it 'should have correct type'     expect(result).to eq(type) end

but there nicer way without typing out test twice?

i think unhelpful message should considered smell - you're headed down road every test expect(result).to eq(expected) wall of let. mind overuse of let - don't think gain over

describe 'function'    context 'on valid input'      it{ expect(get_type(2)).to eq('large') }    end end

which produce more helpful failure message. keep let when expressions more complex or when can give them better name (eg hash of attributes called valid_attributes)

c# - Where does the .ToList() go in LINQ query result -

when getting data populate data grid, have pulled data, made list , mapped model, this: public list<person> getpeople() { var data = _db.person.tolist(); list<person> people = new list<person>(); foreach (var item in data) { person person = new person() { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }; people.add(person); } return people; } this works fine, in interest of writing less code discovered .select method , (what think is) anonymous type. have: public list<person> getpeople() { return _db.person.select(d => new person { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }).tolist(); } though not easy read, works fine too. there preference either way? ...

Listeners to visualise results of load test in JMeter -

-
i want run load test in non-gui mode , save results in .csv file. (i have not modified .properties files, standard information saved) i plan load file , visualise results jmeter’s listeners. which listeners suited purpose? should avoid @ cost, might cause me misinterpret information? (e.g. in view results tree response data empty have - - not saved this. however, there has in fact been response. if saw listener might think there hasn’t been one. since want avoid this, listeners have gain information needed .csv file.) i’d know both jmeter listeners plugins. if running test in non-ui mode ideally should disable listeners in script. use '-l' option store test results .jtl extension. can later open jtl file jmeter. aggregate report or summary report should summarize test results , response time , throughput. if want plot graphs see trends on test duration can use http://jmeter-plugins.org/#/ standard , lib set. i suggest following listeners: response ...
