NAME

InterMine::Model::TestModel - A model to make testing easy for other modules.

# For a freshly minted model:
my $model = InterMine::Model::TestModel->new;

DESCRIPTION

This module produces a predefined version of an InterMine::Model for testing purposes. The model itself has 19 classes based around a hierarchical company structure.

To view the model as an xml file, see: http://trac.flymine.org/browser/trunk/intermine/objectstore/model/testmodel/testmodel_model.xml

Useful classes in the model are

Employee (analogous to Gene in genomic models)

name (Str)
age  (Int)
fullTime (Bool)
department (Department)
address (Address)

Department (analogous to Chromosome in genomic models)

employees (ArrayRef[Employee])
company (Company)
manager (Manager)
name (Str)
address (Address)

Company (

departments (ArrayRef[Department])
name (Str)
vatNumber (Int)
contractors (ArrayRef[Contractor])
secretarys (ArrayRef[Secretary])
address (Address)

CLASS METHODS

new

returns a new instance of the test model

instance

returns a shared instance of the testmodel

In most cases you will want to use instance, as the model is for the most part read-only.

You only need to use new if you are testing the object cache.
