TestCase subclass
Learn TestCase subclass in Smalltalk with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.
TestCase subclass is an atomic Smalltalk topic inside Testing & Design. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what TestCase subclass changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
TestCase subclass: #CounterTest instanceVariableNames: 'counter' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Tests'.
Pay attention to the contract exposed by the type, which members belong to instances versus the type itself, and what dispatch occurs at runtime.
