Symbol

Symbol [ = Option ] [ , Option ]

This argument is optional and adds the symbol of the value to the enum as a string, including the associated getter method, such as for Java: String getSymbol(). For parm generation, the symbol is passed as a string.

Entry in an LFET.Project.ini-file:

ide.Java.InterfaceEnum.1: Symbol; IncludeTagsTitle = Transit Times +
ide.Java.InterfaceEnum.2: Symbol; Number; IncludeTagsTitle = Ranges

One or two options can be specified after an equal sign:

An option to extract numeric values: Integer, IntegerList, Double, DoubleList or Interval.
A case-sensitive option: Uppercase or Lowercase.

Multiple options are separated by commas, the order of the options is irrelevant, here is an example:

Entry in an LFET.Project.ini-file:

ide.Java.InterfaceEnum.1: Symbol = Double, Uppercase; IncludeTags = Transit Times +
ide.Java.InterfaceEnum.2: Symbol = Interval; IncludeTags = Ranges

Entry in a LFET.Project.yaml-file:

  ide.Java:

    InterfaceEnum:
      1:
        Symbol:
          - Double
          - UpperCase
        IncludeTagsTitle:
          - Runtimes
      2:
        Symbol:
          - Interval
        IncludeTagsTitle:
          - Ranges

Upper/lower case and division of words, e.g. through dots or YAML stages, does not matter.

Extraction of numerical values

*One of the options*
Integer With the *Integer* option the symbol is parsed to an integer value and the integer value is added to the enum, including the corresponding getter method *getSymbolInteger()*, during parm generation the integer value is passed as another parameter Numbers with decimal places are rounded, e.g. 2.78 is passed as 3 Numeric values are also recognized if they are embedded in any context, the context can be evaluated in such cases via the respective text value, e.g. startsWith("<=") or endsWith("%") If no integer value can be formed, then the generation is aborted with an error message
Double With the option *Double* the symbol is parsed to a double value and the double value is added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method *getSymbolDouble()* During the parm generation the double value is passed as an additional parameter
IntegerList With the option *IntegerList* the symbol is parsed to a list of integer values and added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method *getSymbolIntegerList()* At parm generation an integer array is passed as further parameter Numbers with decimal places are rounded, e.g. 2.78 is passed as 3 Lists of numeric values are also recognized if they are embedded in any context, the context can be evaluated in such cases via the respective Text-Value If no integer values can be formed, the generation is aborted with an error message.
DoubleList With the *DoubleList* option the symbol is parsed to a list of double values and added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method *getSymbolDoubleList()* During parm generation a double array is passed as additional parameter
Interval With the option *Interval* the symbol is parsed to an interval and in case of success the limit values are added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter methods: *getSymbolMin()* – determines the lower boundary value of the interval *getSymbolMax()* – determines the upper boundary value of the interval *isInSymbolInterval(double/int value)* – checks whether a value falls within an interval If this option is used in argument title, corresponding methods are generated, respectively: *getTitleMin()* *getTitleMax()* *isInTitleInterval(double/int value)* In case of parm generation two double values are passed as further parameters The notation of intervals in LF‑ET is already described in the help, currently still in the area of test case generation, including automatic detection of the number of decimal places, automatic detection of leading zeros, averaging, random value generation, and many more. Intervals are also recognized if they are embedded in any context If no interval can be formed, the generation is aborted with an error message.

One of the options

Integer

With the Integer option the symbol is parsed to an integer value and the integer value is added to the enum, including the corresponding getter method getSymbolInteger(), during parm generation the integer value is passed as another parameter
Numbers with decimal places are rounded, e.g. 2.78 is passed as 3
Numeric values are also recognized if they are embedded in any context, the context can be evaluated in such cases via the respective text value, e.g. startsWith("<=") or endsWith("%")
If no integer value can be formed, then the generation is aborted with an error message

Double

With the option Double the symbol is parsed to a double value and the double value is added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method
- getSymbolDouble()
During the parm generation the double value is passed as an additional parameter

IntegerList

With the option IntegerList the symbol is parsed to a list of integer values and added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method
- getSymbolIntegerList()
At parm generation an integer array is passed as further parameter
Numbers with decimal places are rounded, e.g. 2.78 is passed as 3
Lists of numeric values are also recognized if they are embedded in any context, the context can be evaluated in such cases via the respective Text-Value
If no integer values can be formed, the generation is aborted with an error message.

DoubleList

With the DoubleList option the symbol is parsed to a list of double values and added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter method
- getSymbolDoubleList()
During parm generation a double array is passed as additional parameter

Interval

With the option Interval the symbol is parsed to an interval and in case of success the limit values are added to the enum, incl. the corresponding getter methods:
- getSymbolMin() – determines the lower boundary value of the interval
- getSymbolMax() – determines the upper boundary value of the interval
- isInSymbolInterval(double/int value) – checks whether a value falls within an interval
If this option is used in argument title, corresponding methods are generated, respectively:
- getTitleMin()
- getTitleMax()
- isInTitleInterval(double/int value)
In case of parm generation two double values are passed as further parameters
The notation of intervals in LF‑ET is already described in the help, currently still in the area of test case generation, including automatic detection of the number of decimal places, automatic detection of leading zeros, averaging, random value generation, and many more.
Intervals are also recognized if they are embedded in any context
If no interval can be formed, the generation is aborted with an error message.

Upper/lower case of the symbol value

*One of the options*
Uppercase The Symbol value is converted to uppercase with the *Uppercase* option.
Lowercase The Symbol value is converted to lowercase with the *Lowercase* option.

One of the options

Uppercase: The Symbol value is converted to uppercase with the Uppercase option.

Lowercase: The Symbol value is converted to lowercase with the Lowercase option.
