Does TDUnitX.RegisterTestFixture serve a purpose?

[RaelB 4]

Hi,

I see if a class has the [TestFixture] attribute, then it will be included in the Test Suite. So it seems that the

 

initialization
   TDUnitX.RegisterTestFixture(TMyTests);

 

is not neccessary. Maybe it just a relic from the past, or does it still serve a purpose?

Picking up tests solely by [TestFixture] only works if you use {$STRONGLINKTYPES ON} or somehow reference the testcase class - otherwise the linker will strip it.

That is why TDUnitX.RegisterTestFixture usually is a better choice (imo)
