<h1>Advanced Features</h1>
<p>
In this chapter we describe some advanced features.
</p>
<a name="Testing"></a>
<h2>Testing Framework</h2>
<p>
We provide some utility classes for testing <em>EMF Parsley</em> components in the feature
"Emf Parsley Junit4 Support".  By deriving from one of the abstract classes in our
testing bundle, you will be able to write tests that are meant to be run as Junit test,
that is to say, NOT as Plug-in Junit tests.  Thus, you will not need a running Eclipse product
to execute such tests: they will be much faster.  Indeed, many parts of Parsley can
be tested even without a running Eclipse.

			a few utility methods, e.g., for creating an <a class="jdoc" href="http://google-guice.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javadoc/com/google/inject/Injector.html" title="View JavaDoc"><abbr title="com.google.inject.Injector" >Injector</abbr></a>.

			to run Junit tests that require a <a class="jdoc" href="http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Display.html" title="View JavaDoc"><abbr title="org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display" >Display</abbr></a> and a

			of the previous class for tests that also require databinding capabilities, e.g.,
			tests for <a class="jdoc" href="http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Control.html" title="View JavaDoc"><abbr title="org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control" >Control</abbr></a> elements; this provides many assert
			methods for several kinds of controls, such as <em>assertCheckbox</em>, <em>assertCombo</em>, etc.

We use these classes for testing most of our classes; you might want to have a look
at the project <em>org.eclipse.emf.parsley.tests</em> for some usage examples.
