Unit Test: Write parametrized tests where TestParameters depends on ClassSetupParameters?

I’m currently writing some unit tests, which should be run on every property of every class drawn from a list of classes. Currently I’m using loops in my test methods, but I would prefer to use parametric tests (to get a better log in case of failure). It is needless to say that the list of classes is quite long and each class has different properties – So a static definition of the class name or the property names is not really applicable.
I had something like this in my mind. However, this code is obviously not working since the TestParameters need to be Constant:
classdef TestProperitesOfClasses < matlab.unittest.TestCase
properties
class
object
end
properties (ClassSetupParameter)
class_list = {?MyClass1,?MyClass2} % Classes to be tested
end
properties (TestParameter)
propery_list % Properties to be tested (Default value required!)
end
methods (TestClassSetup)
function create_test_class(test_case,class_list)
% Define the currently tested class
test_case.class = class_list;
test_case.propery_list = properties(class_list.Name); % Does not work!
end
end
methods (TestMethodSetup)
function create_test_object(test_case)
% Create an object of the current class
constructor = str2func(test_case.class.Name);
test_case.object = constructor();
end
end
methods (Test)
function test_property(test_case,propery_list)
% Code to test some property attributes
property = test_case.object.(propery_list);
test_case.verifyNotEmpty(property) % Just an example...
end
end
end
Does anybody know a solution or a workaround for this problem? Would the Matlab Unittest Framework accept non-constant test parameters in future releases?

"... Would the Matlab Unittest Framework accept non-constant test parameters in future releases?" It does in MATLAB R2021a.
Starting R2021a, class-based tests in the MATLAB Unit Test Framework can leverage TestParameterDefinition methods to assign parameter values dynamically at the time of suite creation.
Using this feature, your example could be modified as such -
classdef PropertiesTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase
properties (ClassSetupParameter)
ClassToTest = {'ClassA', 'ClassB', 'ClassC'};
end
properties (TestParameter)
PropertyToTest
end
properties
ObjectToTest
end
methods (TestParameterDefinition, Static)
function PropertyToTest = initializeProperty(ClassToTest)
PropertyToTest = properties(ClassToTest);
end
end
methods (TestClassSetup)
function classSetup(testCase,ClassToTest)
constructor = str2func(ClassToTest);
testCase.ObjectToTest = constructor();
end
end
methods (Test)
function testProperty(testCase,PropertyToTest)
value = testCase.ObjectToTest.(PropertyToTest);
testCase.verifyNotEmpty(value)
end
end
end
A TestParameterDefinition method is static and can be used to dynamically generate values for a parameter property using parameter values that operate at a higher scope than the one being set. Meaning, values for a TestParameter property can be generated using values of ClassSetupParameter and/or MethodSetupParameter properties. Similarly, values for a MethodSetupParameter property can be set using values of a ClassSetupParameter property. You can achieve this by passing the right inputs to the TestParameterDefinition method.

Sorry for the long delay in replying! Were you able to find a workaround?
The only workaround I can think of is to manually create a single set of parameters that combines both the class and property information. I've included a short example below.
I've also submitted an enhancement request for this feature on your behalf.
classdef TestProperitesOfClasses < matlab.unittest.TestCase
properties
class
property
object
end
properties (MethodSetupParameter)
class_and_property = constructParameters;
end
methods (TestMethodSetup)
function create_test_object(test_case, class_and_property)
% Define the currently tested class
test_case.class = class_and_property.Class;
test_case.property = class_and_property.Property;
% Create an object of the current class
constructor = str2func(test_case.class.Name);
test_case.object = constructor();
end
end
methods (Test)
function test_property(test_case)
% Code to test some property attributes
test_case.verifyNotEmpty(test_case.property) % Just an example...
end
end
end
function params = constructParameters
classes = {?MyClass1,?MyClass2}; % Classes to be tested
params = struct;
for class_idx = 1:numel(classes)
thisClass = classes{class_idx};
thisName = thisClass.Name;
props = properties(thisName);
for prop_idx = 1:numel(props)
thisProp = props{prop_idx};
id = [thisName, '_', thisProp];
params.(id).Class = thisClass;
params.(id).Property = thisProp;
end
end
end
