Create a test suite from two test files, run the suite, and generate a .docx report of the results.

Create a new file in your working folder named ScriptBasedTest.m containing the following test script. The script includes two failing and incomplete tests.

%% Test double class
expSolution = 'double';
actSolution = ones;
assert(isa(actSolution,expSolution))

%% Test single class
expSolution = 'single';
actSolution = ones('single');
assert(isa(actSolution,expSolution))

%% Test uint16 class
expSolution = 'uint16';
actSolution = ones('uint16');
assert(isa(actSolution,expSolution))

%% Test that fails
assert(false==true);

%% Another test that fails
assert(strcmp('correlation','causation'))

Create a file named ClassBasedTest.m containing the following test class.

classdef ClassBasedTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase
    properties (ClassSetupParameter)
        generator = {'twister','combRecursive','multFibonacci'};
    end
    properties (MethodSetupParameter)
        seed = {0,123,4294967295};
    end
    properties (TestParameter)
        dim1 = struct('small',1,'medium',2,'large',3);
        dim2 = struct('small',2,'medium',3,'large',4);
        dim3 = struct('small',3,'medium',4,'large',5);
        type = {'single','double'};
    end
    methods (TestClassSetup)
        function ClassSetup(testCase,generator)
            orig = rng;
            testCase.addTeardown(@rng,orig)
            rng(0, generator)
        end
    end
    methods (TestMethodSetup)
        function MethodSetup(testCase,seed)
            orig = rng;
            testCase.addTeardown(@rng,orig)
            rng(seed)
        end
    end
    methods (Test, ParameterCombination='sequential')
        function testSize(testCase,dim1,dim2,dim3)
            testCase.verifySize(rand(dim1,dim2,dim3),[dim1 dim2 dim3])
        end 
    end
    methods (Test, ParameterCombination='pairwise')
        function testRepeatable(testCase,dim1,dim2,dim3)
            state = rng;
            firstRun = rand(dim1,dim2,dim3);
            rng(state)
            secondRun = rand(dim1,dim2,dim3);
            testCase.verifyEqual(firstRun,secondRun);
        end
    end
    methods (Test)
        function testClass(testCase,dim1,dim2,type)
            testCase.verifyClass(rand(dim1,dim2,type),type)
        end
    end
end

At the command prompt, create a test suite from both test files.

import matlab.unittest.TestRunner;
import matlab.unittest.TestSuite;
import matlab.unittest.plugins.TestReportPlugin;

suite = testsuite({'ScriptBasedTest','ClassBasedTest'})
suite = 

  1×284 Test array with properties:

    Name
    ProcedureName
    TestClass
    BaseFolder
    Parameterization
    SharedTestFixtures
    Tags

Tests Include:
   17 Unique Parameterizations, 0 Shared Test Fixture Classes, 0 Tags.

Create a silent test runner, so that there is no information output to the command window. Create a TestReportPlugin that sends output to the file MyTestReport.docx.

runner = TestRunner.withNoPlugins;
docxFile = 'MyTestReport.docx';
plugin = TestReportPlugin.producingDOCX(docxFile);

Add the plugin to the TestRunner and run the suite.

runner.addPlugin(plugin);
result = runner.run(suite)

open(docxFile)

Create a test suite from a function-based test, run the suite, and generate a report of the results. Include passing diagnostics and the text output to the Command Window.

Create a new file in your working folder named FunctionBasedTest.m containing the following function-based test. The test file includes two failing tests.

%% Main function to generate tests
function tests = FunctionBasedTest
tests = functiontests(localfunctions);
end

%% Test Functions
function passingTest(testCase)
actSolution = 13*3+7*5;
expSolution = 74;
verifyEqual(testCase,actSolution,expSolution)
end

function failingTest(testCase)
actSolution = single(1);
verifyTrue(testCase,actSolution)
end

function anotherPassingTest(testCase)
verifyClass(testCase,string('some text'),'string')
end

function anotherFailingTest(testCase)
verifyTrue(testCase,strcmp('42','everything'))
end

At the command prompt, create a test suite from FunctionBasedTest.m. Create a test runner that displays output to the command window using the default plugin.

import matlab.unittest.TestRunner;
import matlab.unittest.TestSuite;
import matlab.unittest.plugins.TestReportPlugin;

suite = testsuite('FunctionBasedTest');
runner = TestRunner.withTextOutput;

Create a TestReportPlugin that sends output to the file MyTestReport2.pdf. Include passing diagnostics and text output from the Command Window in the report.

pdfFile = 'MyTestReport2.pdf';
plugin = TestReportPlugin.producingPDF(pdfFile,...
    'IncludingPassingDiagnostics',true,'IncludingCommandWindowText',true);

Add the plugin to the TestRunner and run the suite.

runner.addPlugin(plugin);
result = runner.run(suite);

In a file in your current working folder, create the FigurePropTest test class. If the failingTest test method fails (it always does in this example), it uses a FigureDiagnostic to save the figure so you can examine it later.

classdef FigurePropTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase
    properties
        TestFigure
    end
    methods (TestMethodSetup)
        function createFigure(testCase)
            testCase.TestFigure = figure;
        end
    end
    methods (TestMethodTeardown)
        function closeFigure(testCase)
            close(testCase.TestFigure)
        end
    end
    methods (Test)
        function defaultCurrentPoint(testCase)
            cp = testCase.TestFigure.CurrentPoint;
            testCase.verifyEqual(cp,[0 0], ...
                'Default current point is incorrect')
        end
        function defaultCurrentObject(testCase)
            import matlab.unittest.constraints.IsEmpty
            co = testCase.TestFigure.CurrentObject;
            testCase.verifyThat(co,IsEmpty, ...
                'Default current object should be empty')
        end
        function failingTest(testCase)
            import matlab.unittest.diagnostics.FigureDiagnostic
            fig = testCase.TestFigure;
            ax = axes(fig);
            surf(ax,peaks)
            testCase.verifyEmpty(testCase.TestFigure.Children, ...
                FigureDiagnostic(testCase.TestFigure))
        end
    end
end

At the command prompt, create a test suite.

suite = testsuite('FigurePropTest');

Create a silent test runner that records diagnostics and generates a PDF report.

import matlab.unittest.plugins.DiagnosticsRecordingPlugin
import matlab.unittest.plugins.TestReportPlugin
runner = matlab.unittest.TestRunner.withNoPlugins;
runner.addPlugin(DiagnosticsRecordingPlugin)
runner.addPlugin(TestReportPlugin.producingPDF('MyTestReport.pdf'))

Change the default artifact root to your current working folder.

runner.ArtifactsRootFolder = pwd;

Run the tests. The third test fails.

ans = 

  FileArtifact with properties:

        Name: "Figure_dfd8c611-8387-4579-804f-6384642ba4ff.fig"
    Location: "C:\work\530aa31c-86c7-4712-a064-d9f00ce041fb"
    FullPath: "C:\work\530aa31c-86c7-4712-a064-d9f00ce041fb\Figure_dfd8c611-8387-4579-804f-6384642ba4ff.fig"

To inspect the image related to the failed test, open the file at the location shown in the FullPath field. Additionally, since you generated a PDF test report, the image is captured in MyTestReport.pdf. The test report also contains the path to the artifacts.
