Abstract

The described technology is directed towards generating related templated files based on a set of data associated with to another class registered with a document system. These files may be edited into a source code file, a document file and a test file for any derived class. At runtime, which may include the runtime execution of the object based upon the test file, an object based upon the source code file is instantiated. Part of the object (e.g., a function) may be validated during the runtime based upon validation information in the document file.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

generating, by a system comprising a processor, based on data associated with class information including a base class registered with a document system that manages file relationships;

a source code template file corresponding to an object,

a test code template file related to the source code template file based on corresponding test data associated with the base class,

a document template file related to the source code template file, wherein the source code template file, the document template file, and the test code template file are distinct files;

attempting to register, in the document system, a source code file comprising an edited version of the source code template file, a test code file comprising an edited version of the test code template file, and a document file comprising an edited version of the document template file, wherein attempting to register the source code file comprises performing validation on the source code file, where the validation comprises a plurality of validation tests based on information in the test code file and at least one of the source code file or the document file;

in response to the validation passing a subset of the plurality of validation tests, registering the source code file in the document system as not validated, wherein the subset comprises at least one of the plurality of validation tests and less than all of the plurality of validation tests; and

in response to the validation passing the plurality of validation tests, registering the source code file in the document system as validated.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, using the test code file to test an object instantiated from a class corresponding to the source code file.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the using the test code file to test the object instantiated from the class corresponding to the source code file comprises mocking out at least one other object.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the source code template file comprises generating the source code template file from a base class source code template file.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the source code template file comprises generating the source code template file from a copy of an edited version of the base class source code template file, including processing the copy into the source code template file.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the document template file comprises generating the document template file from a base class document template file.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the document template file comprises generating the document template file from a copy of an edited version of the base class document template file, including processing the copy into the document template file.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the validation comprises validating one or more input parameters to a function of the object, and validating one or more return values returned by the function.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing the validation comprises invoking at least one validation function identified in the validation information in the document file.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the registering the source code file comprises including a suffix corresponding to a source code file version within a name associated with the source code file.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising, generating a different version of the source code template file in conjunction with generating the source code template file, wherein the different version of the source code template file has at least one different attribute relative to the source code template file.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system including a processor to perform operations comprising:

generating a source code template file, a document template file, and a test template file based on a set of data associated with a class registered with a document system that manages file relationships, wherein the source code template file, the document template file, and the test template file are distinct files;

attempting to register, in the document system;

a source code file comprising an edited version of the source code template file,

a document file comprising an edited version of the document template file; and

a test file comprising an edited version of the test template file;

wherein attempting to register the source code file comprises performing validation on the source code file, wherein the validation comprises a plurality of validation tests based on information in the test file and at least one of the source code file or the document file;

in response to the validation passing a subset of the plurality of validation tests, registering the source code file, in the document system as not validated, wherein the subset comprises at least one of the plurality of validation tests and less than all of the plurality of validation tests; and

in response to the validation passing the plurality of validation tests, registering the source code file in the document system as validated.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, the operations further comprising wrapping at least part of the object with validation wrapper logic used in validating the object during runtime.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, the operations further comprising executing a runtime validation function via the validation wrapper logic, the runtime validation function specified in the validation information maintained in the related document file.

15. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

generating a source code template file, a document template file, and a test template file based on a set of data associated with a class registered with a document system that manages file relationships, wherein the source code template file, the document template file, and the test template file are distinct files;

attempting to register, in the document system;

a source code file comprising an edited version of the source code template file,

a document file comprising an edited version of the document template file; and

a test file comprising an edited version of the test template file;

wherein attempting to register the source code file comprises performing validation on the source code file, where the validation comprises a plurality of validation tests based on information in the test file and at least one of the source code file or the document file;

in response to the validation passing a subset of the plurality of validation tests associated with the source code file, registering the source code file in the document system as not validated, wherein the subset comprises at least one of the plurality of validation tests and less than all of the plurality of validation tests; and

in response to the validation passing the plurality of validation tests, registering the source code file in the document system as validated.

16. The system of claim 15, further comprising instantiating the object from a class corresponding to the source code file, and determining whether to wrap at least part of the object with validation logic based upon condition data.

17. The system of claim 15, further comprising instantiating the object from a class corresponding to the source code file, wrapping at least part the object with validation logic based upon condition data, and using information maintained in the document file to validate the at least part of the object during runtime execution of the object.

18. The system of claim 15, further comprising, instantiating the object from a class corresponding to the source code file and validating at least part of the object during runtime execution of the object.

19. The system of claim 15, further comprising, instantiating the object from a class corresponding to the source code file, and using information in the test file to test the object during runtime execution of the object.
