Run a suite of tests with a test runner that is configured for text output.

Create a function-based test sampleTest.m in your current folder. 

function tests = sampleTest
tests = functiontests(localfunctions);
end

function testA(testCase)      % Test passes
verifyEqual(testCase,2+3,5)
end

function testB(testCase)      % Test fails
verifyGreaterThan(testCase,13,42)
end

function testC(testCase)      % Test passes
verifySubstring(testCase,"Hello world!","llo")
end

Create a test suite from the tests in sampleTest.m.

suite = testsuite("sampleTest.m");

Create a test runner that produces text output and use it to run the tests. The text output includes test run progress as well as diagnostics in the event of test failures.

runner = testrunner("textoutput");
results = run(runner,suite);
