Test Suite Example
The following example test suite shows some tests of a database server:
-module(db_data_type_SUITE).
-include_lib("common_test/include/ct.hrl").
%% Test server callbacks
-export([suite/0, all/0,
init_per_suite/1, end_per_suite/1,
init_per_testcase/2, end_per_testcase/2]).
%% Test cases
-export([string/1, integer/1]).
-define(CONNECT_STR, "DSN=sqlserver;UID=alladin;PWD=sesame").

The Erlang mode for the Emacs editor includes two Common Test test suite
templates, one with extensive information in the function headers, and one with
minimal information. A test suite template provides a quick start for
implementing a suite from scratch and gives a good overview of the available
callback functions. The two templates follows:
