Documentation

tapir facilitates the developer to write comprehensive and maintainable tests. However, additional documentation might help other developers, test managers and stakeholders to understand the purpose of a test suite, class or step. tapir provides a set of annotations which might be useful for providing an informative documentation.

Annotation Description Test suite Test class Test class parameter Test step Test step parameter
@Title Provides a title/headline for the annotated element. It describes the behaviour of the annotated element more abstract than @Description.
@Description

Describes the behaviour of the annotated element more detailed than @Title.

@Issues Provides the possibility to link the annotated element with an issue tracker.
@Tags Helps structuring your test suites and classes

Beside documenting the source code the information can be included in reports in order to get to know what the certain test suites and classes did without looking at the source code.
