Create a New Hook

Follow these steps:

1. Create a Java class that extends com.itko.lisa.test.Hook.

   This class provides the information that is required to execute the logic for your hook.

   public class HeadlineHook extends Hook
   {
    
   }
   

2. Implement the startupHook method.

   DevTest calls this method when the test starts. If an error occurs or you otherwise want to prevent the test from executing normally, throw a TestRunException.

   public void startupHook( TestExec testExec ) throws TestRunException
   

3. Implement the endHook method.

   You have an opportunity to perform any post-execution logic for the test.

   public void endHook( TestExec testExec )
   

4. (Optional) Implement the

   setLongMsg

   method to integrate into Portal Test Monitoring facility.

   You can provide a detailed message for the hook.

   public void setLongMsg( boolean isStarting, String msg )
