Concordion Concordion Markdown Specifications 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What file extension is used for Concordion Markdown specification files?
- .md (Correct answer)
- .html
- .spec
- .concordion
Correct answer: .md
Concordion Markdown specification files use the .md extension, which Concordion converts to HTML before executing tests.
Question 2: What Markdown link syntax correctly sets a Concordion variable named `#firstName`?
- [John](- "#firstName") (Correct answer)
- [John](- "?=#firstName")
- [John](- "set=#firstName")
- [John](#firstName)
Correct answer: [John](- "#firstName")
Using a `-` as the URL with `#varName` in the href sets the Concordion variable to the link text value.
Question 3: What Markdown link syntax asserts that a Concordion expression equals the expected value "Hello, World!"?
- [Hello, World!](- "?=#result") (Correct answer)
- [Hello, World!](- "#result")
- [Hello, World!](- "assert=#result")
- [Hello, World!](- "==#result")
Correct answer: [Hello, World!](- "?=#result")
The `?=` prefix in the URL indicates an assertEquals command, comparing the link text to the evaluated expression.
Question 4: How do you execute a fixture method `greet()` without capturing its return value in Concordion Markdown?
- [](- "greet()") (Correct answer)
- [greet](- "#result = greet()")
- [execute](greet())
- [](greet() -)
Correct answer: [](- "greet()")
An empty link text `[]` with the method call as the URL (prefixed with `-`) executes the method and discards the result.
Question 5: In Concordion Markdown, which part of a link signals that it is a Concordion command?
- A `-` used as the URL (Correct answer)
- A `#` prefix in the URL
- A `concordion:` prefix in the title
- A `c:` prefix in the link text
Correct answer: A `-` used as the URL
When the URL portion of a Markdown link is `-`, Concordion interprets the link as a command rather than a standard hyperlink.
Question 6: Which version of Concordion first introduced native support for Markdown specifications?
- Concordion 2.0 (Correct answer)
- Concordion 1.4
- Concordion 1.0
- Concordion 3.0
Correct answer: Concordion 2.0
Concordion 2.0 introduced native Markdown support, allowing specifications to be written in .md files alongside traditional HTML specs.
Question 7: How does Concordion process Markdown specification files before running the tests?
- It converts Markdown to HTML at runtime before executing tests (Correct answer)
- It reads the Markdown syntax directly without any conversion
- It compiles Markdown files to JVM bytecode
- It relies on the browser to render Markdown during test execution
Correct answer: It converts Markdown to HTML at runtime before executing tests
Concordion converts Markdown to HTML internally at runtime, then processes the resulting HTML the same way it handles native HTML specifications.
