How should I test my thrift services?

[Andrew Pennebaker <ap...@42six.com>]

Can web tools like *curl* be used to test thrift services? I'm looking for
tools for testing thrift services, ideally regardless of service
implementation language.

Hi,

If the on-the-wire content of the response is known and fix for a given test 
case, you theoretically could put to use previously stored request/response 
pairs and let the test fail on any differences in the returned data.

I think, we can take that one as a given with Thrift, can't we? ;-)

Have fun,

Hi
We do cross language tests via test/test.sh script which is part of Apache
Thrift source code.
Each languages has its own test framework and there is no other common test
framework available today.

However, we always like new ideas to simplify and improve testing.

Hi Andrew

Personally I would write tests that instantiate a thrift client using your
preferred language/platform/test lib.  I can imagine how or why there would
be a generic tool for calling thrift service methods; It would have to know
the method signatures and that is what a thrift client is.
