Testdriven development (XSLT) for cocoon applications
Hi all,
Since a few months we have taken over support of 5 Cocoon applications
which are actually fully depending on XSLT-transformations.... The
sitemap is nicely setup.
One main pipeline is started and delegates it's work further to other
pipelines which in its turn delegate the work again and so on. However,
I'm worried about the fact that for this application no unit-tests are
available. Cocoon being a framework specialized in XML-publishing, I
was wondering if the community has experience (best practices) with
this.
I already looked for unittesting XSLT, but would like to know the
experience from this community. One requirement might be the
possibility to write tests for xslt2.0.
Cheers,
Robby Pelssers

xslt-based web-crawler with schematron rules can help if pages not
xhtml at all then you should did it as second stage of TQM
implementation - standard conforming

Hi Alexander,
I did not manage to use it already... but I did take a look at it and it
looks promising. I just finished writing a presentation on Apache
Cocoon being used at one of our clients. And I will also write an
article (Apache Cocoon related)... After that I will dive into CoUnit
and present my findings.
Thx for your mail,
Robby

I am using UTF-X for XSLT unit testing. You can use the XSLT processor
of your choice with UTF-X and therefore it also works with XSLT 2.0.
You can also use UTF-X for integration tests. The version in the trunk
supports a href attributes on utfx:source and utfx:expected, e.g.
<utfx:assert-equal>
<utfx:source href="http://localhost:8888/welcome"/>
<utfx:expected>
<welcome>welcome message</welcome>
</utfx:expected>
</utfx:assert-equal>
In the last two weeks I started to use the Cocoon integration test
framework [1] which uses Maven plugins and HtmlUnit to automate the
tests. Examples can be found in the Cocoon webapp [2] [3]. It plays
nicely with the RCL which gives you TDD for integration tests.

Nico Verwer did an interesting presentation on CoUnit a while ago, see [1].

Bertrand en Hubert...
Thx for the info. I will most definitely be spending time on Co-Unit

Subject: Re: Testdriven development (XSLT) for cocoon applications
Hi,
I've used CoUnit on a previous project and
it was easy to setup a test for XSLT 2.0 with Saxon.
CoUnit still requires the Cocoon app to be running,
because it uses HTTP to invoke the tests.
So for real unit testing I might not be the best solution,
but for integration testing it is very useful.
Kind regards and good luck.
