Detailed Description

An abstract class for tests of evolved individuals.

This is the abstract class for those performing tests on evolved individuals. The main function is runTest(), which is pure virtual. This function is the one that gets executed when a test is requested. The configure and postConfigureInitialization functions have an empty implementaion, while the save implementation simply prints an error message and causes an abort. When writing subclasses, ALWAYS remember to register the class with the factory, so that it can be instantiated when needed.

Member Function Documentation

EvoRobotComponent* component ( ) [inline]

Returns a pointer to the Component.

Use it in subclasses for get all the data necessary for implementing the test

Returns:: a pointer to the EvoRobotComponent

Warning:: this hierarchy of class for testing works only with EvoRobotComponent

virtual void configure	(	ConfigurationParameters &	,
		QString
	)		`[inline, virtual]`

Configures the object using a ConfigurationParameters object.

Parameters:

params	the configuration parameters object with parameters to use
prefix	the prefix to use to access the object configuration parameters. This is guaranteed to end with the separator character when called by the factory, so you don't need to add one

Implements ParameterSettableWithConfigureFunction.

Reimplemented in TestRandom, and TestIndividual.

static void describe ( QString type ) [inline, static]

Describe Function.

Reimplemented from ParameterSettable.

Reimplemented in TestRandom, and TestIndividual.

Definition at line 106 of file abstracttest.h.

QString iconFilename ( ) [inline]

the filename of the icon to show on the menu/toolbar

Subclasses can change the protected variable m_iconFilename in order to customize it
