binary ::= (unary | compound) ( and | or | not | eor) (unary | compound)
compound ::= '(' binary ')'
...
properties ::= '{' propertyName ':' singleQuotedValue (',' propertyName ':' singleQuotedValue)* '}'
classMethods ::= *(('%' packageName)? ('@' className) | qualifiedName) ('#' methodName)? ('$' operationName)?
Probably the best way to explain this is with some examples:
| Specification | Result |
|---|---|
| @classname | Run every method in every class with 'classname' in the name. |
| %pack | Run every method in every class with 'pack' in the package name |
| @classname and %pack | Run every method which matches both of the previous conditions. This is a compound statement. |
| $operation | Run every class and method, but only execute operations named 'operation' |
| #method | Matches just the method name |
| %pack1@class1#method1$operation1 | Selects packages containing 'pack1', classes named 'class1', methods named 'method1', and only executes operations named 'operation1' |
| <tag> | Run the tag named 'tag' using the 'all' set. |
| <tag, fail> | Run the tag named 'tag' using the 'fail' set. |
| [ aud ] | Run every method in every class with the @JoinSuite tag with the name aud. |
{ property: 'value' }
| Run every method in all classes which contain an operation with a parameter named 'property' and the value 'value' |
All of the selectors have the effect of choosing any test to run that they match. If an operation is specified (using $), only those operations are executed. The properties selector will select the entire method if a single operation matches.
