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 a source code template file and a document template file from corresponding data associated with class information including a base class;

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

using the source code file to instantiate an object; and

validating at least part the object based upon validation information in the document file during runtime execution of the object.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising, generating a test code template file from a corresponding test data associated with the base class, and registering a test code file comprising an edited version of the test code template file.

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

4. The method of claim 3 wherein 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.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the source code template file from corresponding data associated with a base class comprises generating the source code template file from a base class source code template file.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the source code template file from corresponding data associated with a base class 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.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the document template file from corresponding data associated with a base class comprises generating the document template file from a base class document template file.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein generating the document template file from corresponding data associated with a base class 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.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein validating at least part the object comprises validating one or more input parameters to a function of the object, and validating one or more return values returned by the function.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein validating at least part the object comprises invoking at least one validation function identified in the validation information in the document file.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein registering the source code file comprises performing at least one registration validation operation on information in the source code file.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein 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.

13. A system comprising:

a templated file generator, the templated file generator included in or coupled to a document system, the templated file generator configured to generate a related source code template file, document template file and test template file from a set of data associated with to another class registered with the document system; and

the document system further configured to register 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.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising an object-oriented programming system included in or coupled to the document system, the object-oriented programming system configured to instantiate an object from a class corresponding to the source code file, and to determine whether to wrap at least part the object with validation logic based upon condition data accessed by the object-oriented programming system.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein the object-oriented programming system determines that at least part of the object is to be wrapped with validation logic, and further comprising, using information maintained in the document file to validate the at least part of the object during runtime execution of the object.

16. The system of claim 13 further comprising, using information in the test file to test the object during runtime execution of the object.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein the document system is further configured to validate the source code file via at least one registration validation operation.

18. One or more machine-readable media having machine-executable instructions, which when executed perform steps, comprising:

instantiating an object from a class corresponding to a source code file;

testing the object during runtime, including accessing a test file to determine test-related information; and

validating the object during runtime, including using validation information maintained in a document file associated with the object.

19. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 18 having further machine-executable instructions comprising wrapping at least part of the object with validation wrapper logic used in validating the object during runtime.

20. The one or more machine-readable media of claim 19 having further machine-executable instructions comprising executing a validation function via the validation wrapper logic, the validation function specified in the validation information maintained in the document file.
