RTestCase-class: The 'RTestCase' Class
In RTest: A XML-Based Testing Framework for Automated Component Tests of R Packages

Objects of the RTestCase class specify and implement the general behavoir of the XML-based test cases (TC).

On basis of Based on a XML definition file (see 'RTestCase.xsd'), test cases are defined for the individual packages / projects to be tested. Thereby, this class definition provides the general outline of the individual test case classes (i.e. test case adapters), which have to implement the project- and package-specific requirements and test logic.

The slot 'tests' represents the execution environment for a test case and stores all information about the execution including test case metainformation, test result (success or failed), the testthat reporter and the test cache. It has the following format:
XML: tests:
tests
|- Pkg_1 [Pkg_1][1]
| - funct_01 [Pkg_1][1][funct_01][1] = list( ... )
|- Pkg_1 [Pkg_1][2]
| |- funct_01 [Pkg_1][2][funct_01][1] = list( ... )
| |- funct_01 [Pkg_1][2][funct_01][2] = list( ... )
| - funct_02 [Pkg_1][2][funct_02][1] = list( ... )
- Pkg_2 [Pkg_2][1]
- funct_01 [Pkg_2][1][funct_01][1] = list( ... )

ID: (character) ID of the TC.
tc.type: (character) Type of the TC (i.e. the class name).
synopsis: (list) Synopsis information of the TC (as defined in the XSD ComplexType 'RTestSynopis').
xml.fPath: (character) Path to XML definition file of the TC.
xml.root: (XMLNode) The imported TC definition as XMLNode-class object.
input.data: (list) The input data of the test case, which will be filled using the method readXMLInputData.
tests: (list) A list with the test results or NULL, if the test case has not been executed (see 'Details').
test.for: (character) Names of the packages, which were tested in the last execution of the test case. NULL, if the test case has not been executed.
test.result: (character) Result of the last test case execution ('SUCCESS' or 'FAILURE'). NULL, if the test case has not been executed.
