Code review of PTs

cute_guy

Is there a way to automate the code review of the Presentation Templates?

..bcos lots of people doing manual review tend to overlook some part sof the code and it might lead to leakage of some issues.

Any particular procedure to be followed to acheive the complete review of PTs?


TIA

I think the only way you could automate (part of) it would be to have one, or a series of, "known good DCRs" - that vary in terms of the fields / field values that they contain - in order to "stress-test" the PT - and then have a specific workflow (or set of tasks within a workflow) that use either iwgen or iwpt_compile.ipl on each of those DCRs and verifies that the PT can process each DCR without returning an error. If you also maintain known-good-output results, you could diff the new output against the old output for the known-good-DCRs to verify that nothing has changed, though if you're making changes to the PT that's less likely to be of value as an automated test and still requires manual/hands-on/visual verification.
