NT8 - Automated unit testing

shansen · 2017-10-30T01:46:00-04:00

Can anyone offer guidance or examples toward implementing automated unit testing in NT8? I am currently refactoring several complex Indicators originally designed to operate under Calculation.OnBarClose to operate under .OnBarClose AND .OnEachTick. Ideally, I would like to develop Unit Tests for each Indicator which would operate under .OnBarClose OR .OnEachTick. I believe this would require mocking (or similar) a specified sequence of OnBarUpdate events. Ideally, a sequence of tick data could be recorded (or extracted) and used to develop a mock series. Unit Tests could then consume the mock series (under .OnBarClose OR .OnEachTick) to test and validate Indicator behavior. Thanks Shannon
