Data Structures

Overview

By extending NoseDBReporterBase you essentially have access to two relevant dictionaries, test_suites and test_case_results.

MySQL Example

The NoseMySQLReporter backend translates the data structures of the plugin into mysql tables using 4 tables:

  • testsuite
  • testsuiteexecution
  • testcase
  • testcaseexecution

The MySQL tables are roughly related as follows:

digraph MySQLDb { graph [ rankdir="LR", fontname="Courier" ]; "testsuite" [ label="<f0>testsuite|<f1>name", shape="record" ]; "testcase" [ label="<f0>testcase|<f1>id|<f2>suite", shape="record" ]; "testsuiteexecution" [ label="<f0>testsuiteexecution|<f1>id|<f2>suite", shape="record" ]; "testcaseexecution" [ label="<f0>testcaseexecution|<f1>id|<f2>testcase", shape="record" ]; "testcase":f2->"testsuite":f1; "testcaseexecution":f2->"testcase":f1; "testsuiteexecution":f2->"testsuite":f1; }
