XML validation
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:03 pm
Hi,
i need some help. My application is generating XML after some wizard. And i need to verify that all values were correctly written to this XML. As i understand i can do this in 2 ways:
1. While test is running create my own XML and then just compare "my" and "application" XMLs
2. Just parse XML and verify that all strings are correct
IMHO: First option is quite "dirty" solution, i dont think that it is a good idea to create 1 XML during test and then compare it with one that was created by application. Second option will not verify all the XML, but only nessesary values aand this is not also very good from the test side. So maybe you can give me some positive arguments for this or maybe better solution.
Thanks
