Testing the Enterprise Library Core 13
Verifying the Test Cases
After you identify all the design test cases, you can verify that the design satisfies
them. Table 3 lists how each of the design test cases were verified for the Enterprise
Library Core.
Table 3: Core Design Verification
Design test case
Verify that the core implements
a base strategy class that
supports the Enterprise Library
strategies and that retrieves
useful information from the
context, such as the configuration
source.
Verify that the core implements
strategy classes that create
objects from the configuration
source and that bind the instrumentation.
Verify that the core implements
base factory classes that create
instance objects and a base factory
class that creates singleton
objects for types that support
them
Verify that the core provides a
façade for a generic object instance
building mechanism that
is based on the ObjectBuilder
subsystem.
Verify that the core implements
configuration watchers that monitor
the configuration sources.
Verify that the core includes
configuration classes that read
various types of configuration
elements such as name, type,
and collection.

Feature that implements design
The EnterpriseLibraryStrategy class derives
from the BuilderStrategy class, which is the
base class for Enterprise Library strategies. The
EnterpriseLibraryStrategy retrieves the selected
configuration source.
The ConfiguredObjectStrategy class retrieves
the configuration data and creates the objects.
The InstrumentationStrategy class injects the
instrumentation attachment process into the
ObjectBuilder subsystem.
The NameTypeFactoryBase class is a generic
factory class that creates instance objects.
The LocatorNameTypeFactoryBase class is
a generic factory class that creates singleton
object for types that support them.
The EnterpriseLibraryFactory is a façade that
provides the generic building mechanism for the
ObjectBuilder subsystem.
The ConfigurationFileSourceWatcher class
monitors configuration files. Derivations of the
ConfigurationSourceWatcher abstract base
class monitor alternative configuration sources.
The NamedConfigurationElement class represents
a ConfigurationElement object that is a
name element. The NamedElementCollection
class is a generic collection of NamedConfigurationElement
objects. The NameTypeConfigurationElement
class represents a ConfigurationElement
object that has both a name element
and a type element. The NameTypeConfigurationElementCollection
class is a generic collection
of NameTypeConfigurationElement objects.
