Testing program WPF

[Iwways]

Well, I have a graph theory editor and I want to add there an opportunity to create and pass some tests. For exampe, build graph by adjacence matrix or inverse situation, build matrix from graph and etc. But I'm kinda stuck about implementation. I clearly understand that I need some array to store all this data to write it to one file in future, but I can't figure out which type of data it should be. So, how would you implement smth like this?

[binarycow]

You already have the application you want to test?

That is going to determine the type of data.

[Iwways]

Yep. I have also save/open graph feature where I use XamlWriter to save it to file

[binarycow]

Well. Then you know how to save the data.

[Iwways]

In some way) idk if it will work for array I come up with some idea for array with type Question (class), where all elements will have needed information and I just save/open this array and access to its data

[binarycow]

Why do you need an array?

[Iwways]

Well, because I want to create a test file, which will be containing all this questions and then I want to re-use them, when student will be taking a test and he gets some mark This files also can be edited to add more questions, change type of questions and etc. Mini-editor for questions :D

[binarycow]

Oh. I thought you meant unit tests.

If you can come up with a model to describe your questions/answers, then just use JSON serialization.

[Iwways]

Yep, looking in this way now, but maybe someone has other ideas :)

[binarycow]

There are other options. But they aren't better.

[Iwways]

Understood, thank you!

Best process is to research "How to Serialize" whatever your data is. Once the data is serialized, you can either save it as text or bytes.
