This question is related to this question. I have several models stored in a collection. I loop through the collection and validate each field. Based on the input, a field can either
be successful, have an error or a warning. Is it safe to unit test each decorator and assert that the type of object returned is what you would expect based on the given input? I could perhaps see this being an issue for a language with function return types since my validation function can return one of 3 types.
This is the code I'm fiddling with:
<!-- #include file = "../lib/Collection.asp" -->
<style type="text/css">
td { padding: 4px; }
td.error
{
background: #F00F00;
}
td.warning
{
background: #FC0;
}
</style>
