XQuery and Unit testing - Part III (xqUnit)

A short post this time - I think that

(: a test definition :)
 let $test :=
  <test>
   <method>
    let $book:= /bib/book
   </method>
   <asserts>
    <assertTrue name="count nodes">
     return count($book) = 4
    </assertTrue>
    <assertTrue name="find by name">
     return $book[1]/title = "TCP/IP Illustrated"
    </assertTrue>
    <assertTrue name="find by author">
     return count($book[author/last = "Stevens"]) = 2
    </assertTrue>
    <assertTrue name="find by author case sensitivty">
     return count($book[author/last = "stevens"]) = 0
    </assertTrue>
   </asserts>
  </test>

looks better from a naming point of view, it gives a better idea of intent and opens up the options for other kinds of asserts.

Once we apply a schema to this model, the xqunit:excute function can be locked down to expecting an assert rather than any node...
