Parameterized Tests

Parameterized tests allow you to run the same test logic with different inputs and expected results. This helps to test across various scenarios without writing repetitive tests.

For example:

import { assert, test } from 'poku';

const testCases = [
  {
    expected: true,
    input: { name: 'Alice', role: 'admin' },
    testCase: 'is admin',
  },
  {
    expected: false,
    input: { name: 'Bob', role: 'user' },
    testCase: 'is not admin',
  },
];

const isAdmin = (user) => user.role === 'admin';

for (const { expected, input, testCase } of testCases) {
  test(testCase, () => {
    const actual = isAdmin(input);

    assert.strictEqual(actual, expected);
  });
}

Using promises

Handling asynchronous operations sequentially within parameterized tests using promises:

import { assert, test } from 'poku';

const testCases = [
  {
    expected: true,
    input: { name: 'Alice', role: 'admin' },
    testCase: 'is admin',
  },
  {
    expected: false,
    input: { name: 'Bob', role: 'user' },
    testCase: 'is not admin',
  },
];

const isAdmin = (user) => Promise.resolve(user.role === 'admin');

for (const { expected, input, testCase } of testCases) {
  await test(testCase, async () => {
    const actual = await isAdmin(input);

    assert.strictEqual(actual, expected);
  });
}

tip

To run asynchronous operations in parallel, simply remove await from test or it.
