Generating Data for Testing

Now we can generate some test data. Don’t forget to update the database after the build. Let’s generate three cost items to test the Expense classes:

PersistenceManager pm = new PersistenceManager();

pm.BuildDatabase();

Employee e = new Employee();

e.FirstName = "John";

e.LastName = "Becker";

pm.MakePersistent(e);

Travel t = e.NewTravel();

t.Purpose = "NDO Workshop";

Receipt ev = new Receipt();

ev.ReceiptText = "Taxi";

ev.Sum = 30;

ev.Date = DateTime.Now.Date;

t.AddExpense(ev);

MileageAllowance ma = new MileageAllowance();

ma.MilesDriven = 200;

ma.Date = DateTime.Now.Date;

t.AddExpense(ma);

PerDiemAllowance pda = new PerDiemAllowance();

pda.Hours = (decimal)12.5;

pda.Date = DateTime.Now.Date;

t.AddExpense(pda);

pm.Save();
