    tc-testing: very simple example test cases · 7dfbe5b6
    Brenda J. Butler authored
    As part of documentation, supply some very simple test cases
    to illustrate how test cases work.  One test case shows
    commands in the setup, command, verify and teardown stages.
    Other test cases show how to have a working test case that
    does not have commands in the setup, verify and/or teardown
    stages.
    
    Specifically, the command lists for setup and teardown can
    be empty.  And the verify command must have a command, but
    it can be /bin/true.  The regex must have a string, we
    recommend a single space, and the count of matches must be
    zero if you do not want to use the match feature of verify.
    Verify will always look for a return code of success (0)
    so we give /bin/true when we do not want to make a check
    there.
    
    Also, update the documentation for testcases to be more
    specific in the cases of:
    
        - accepting non-success return codes in setup and
          teardown stages
        - how to write the test when no setup, teardown
          and/or verify are desired.
    
    To run the example test cases:
    
        $ sudo -E ./tdc.py -f creating-testcases/example.json -l
        1f: (example) simple test to test framework
        2f: (example) simple test, no need for verify
        3f: (example) simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
        $ sudo -E ./tdc.py -f creating-testcases/example.json
        Test 1f: simple test to test framework
        Test 2f: simple test, no need for verify
        Test 3f: simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
        All test results:
    
        1..3
        ok 1 1f simple test to test framework
        ok 2 2f simple test, no need for verify
        ok 3 3f simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
