FYI: I described how to write tests for Cocoon

[Grzegorz Kossakowski <gr...@tuffmail.com>]

Hi,

I have dumped my experiences with writing (or restructuring) tests for Cocoon both for Avalon components and Spring beans. It took me a 
while to figure out all details I included here: http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs-site-main/g4/g1/636.html

I would be grateful for any opinions and reviews. I hope it will help someone.

Hi Grzegorz Kossakowski,

great peace of work! I have not look at every detail yet, but this seems to me like a very welcome addition to the documentation.

Wow, glat to hear that! It is all encouraging.

No, you should use the same test-cases to extend from. Only obtaining tested class depends on it's manager (lookup() method vs 
getFactoryBean() method). I'll try to clarify this description.

Thanks for spotting this.

I haven't tested it yet but I'm happy to see that not only for the
forms-framework a migrationguide exists (which is heavily used) ;-)

Just from reading the guide:
In the avalon-part you have a note that it's usefull to use either
SitemapComponentTestCase or CocoonTestCase from which testcases are
extended.  Are these 'base' testcases the same which should be used to
extend spring-managed testcases from? Or do we have another base
testcase to extend from?
