Scenario

In the Travel Management Customer Support application, Partner Onboarding relies on the Partner Profile list returned by the D_PartnerProfileList Data Page. Users intermittently report that the list sometimes returns incomplete data. Stakeholders also require that the list loads quickly to avoid delays in onboarding work.

To meet these requirements, you must complete the following tasks:

Create unit tests for D_PartnerProfileList to confirm that the Data Page returns the expected results.
Validate that the execution time remains within the performance threshold of less than or equal to 200 milliseconds.
Run a Test Coverage session that uses the unit tests, and review the results.

Note: This challenge has been configured with Single sign-on (SSO) using your Pega Academy credentials. If you are not automatically signed-in to the challenge environment after initializing the instance, you may use the credentials provided.

The following table provides the credentials you may need to complete the challenge:

After completing this challenge, you should be able to:

Create unit tests by using the Pega unit framework for a list Data Page.
Add assertions for runtime and returned data correctness.
Run a Test Coverage session and analyze the results by using Application Quality tools.

Use the technical documentation linked in the Doc Journey above to complete the assigned tasks. The technical documentation might have more information than you need to complete the tasks.

Acceptance criteria

Two unit tests exist for the D_PartnerProfileList Data Page.
Both unit tests assert that the runtime is less than or equal to 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds).
Unit Test 1, First Result in List returns named Partner Profile, asserts that pxResults(1) has the following values:
- PropertyName = Marriott Courtyard
- AvailableRooms = 92
- MaintenanceStatus = Satisfactory
Unit Test 2, Partner Profile List count is 5, asserts that the .pxResults count is 5.
All unit tests are saved to the application's testing ruleset: TMCSTest.
Unit tests run successfully via Application Quality Test Coverage.

Directions

In the Partner Profile data type, go to the Usage tab and open D_PartnerProfileList .
Run the Data Page, and then use Convert to test to create unit tests and add the assertions as detailed in the Acceptance criteria.
Configure an Application Quality Test Coverage session that uses the unit tests you created for the D_PartnerProfileList Data Page.
With the Test Coverage session running, go to Configure > Application > Quality > Automated Testing > Unit Testing > Test Cases to display the unit tests you created.
Run the unit tests as part of the Test Coverage session, and then view the results.
