How to use Maven for System Testing?

[Paul Benedict <pb...@apache.org>]

My company uses JUnit to perform unit and integration testing. Those two
things are very valuable to our testing process, but I'd like to see how we
can also incorporate the so-called "system" testing too. But what would
those look like? Aren't they just end-to-end integration tests? Just curious
to see what other people have done. What would be the difference in
technology or testing methodology?

When you say System Testing, I assume you are actually talking about
Functional Testing? In my experience, this usually means "end to end
integration testing", so if you're already doing that, I don't know
what else you're looking to do.

Realistically, I would suggest that you talk to the testing "experts"
in the Agile-Testing or perhaps TDD Yahoogroups and figure out what
exactly you feel is missing from your current testing approach. Then
you can worry about how Maven can possibly help you achieve results.

I just don't think sending this email to the Maven Users list is going
to produce the kind of feedback you are hoping to get. I generally
suspect that the ratio of people on this list using unit testing is
around 50%, then integration testing is around 5-10%, and additional
testing is in the 1-2% range.
