Build the Test Case Runner

Purpose:

This method will test each of the Region object's instance properties for each row of data in the test data file.

Starting Point:

The Region business object test class is under construction.  The DeleteTheObject test should be complete.

Steps:

1. Import the System.Data
2. Declare a private void function called RunTheTestCases.
3. In the body of your new function, declare a foreach loop that iterates through each record of the test dataset, sets the class test row variable value to the value of the current row, then runs each of the CRUD tests you have created in the CRUD order.
4. The finished code should look something like this:
   
   private void RunTheTestCases()
   {
       foreach (RegionTestData.RegionRow rowInstance in _testDataset.Region.Rows)
       {
           _testRow = rowInstance;
           CreateTheObject();
           ReadTheObject();
           UpdateTheObject();
           DeleteTheObject();
       }
   }
   
    
5. Compile and Save.

Rationale

This automates the running of the tests for each row in the data file.  It is simple and straight-forward, leaving no doubt as to what tests are run or which data is used for the tests. 

Discussion:

There is not much going on here because the work has all been done elsewhere.  We populated the dataset in the constructor, and we built all of the tests already.  Other than a little fussing to make sure the loop syntax is correct, the only real chore is to put the tests in the right order.

A class variable is used to hold the test row.  What are the pros and cons of using a class variable compared to passing a test row as a parameter to each of our test routines?
