Struts testing
Hi
I would like to ask if You (as Struts programmers) see some + or - of
testing Struts? I know JSF where I can test all components as a standalone
programs. How it looks in Struts? If in Struts are a lot of dependencies
which make Struts testing hard to test?
Thanx

Testing Struts 1 Action classes directly is challenging, though the
StrutsTestCase extension helps quite a bit. The best solution I found
was to push as much functionality as possible into a business facade
that could be tested by JUnit or TestNG, and then to test the frontend
with Selenium or WebCanno. When this approach is followed, there is
very little left to test in the Actions.
In Struts 2, it's easy to test Action classes directly.
HTH, Ted

It depends somewhat on which version of Struts you're talking about.
Generally, Struts 2 makes testing easier by reducing dependencies
through well defined abstraction interfaces.
For Struts 1 actions, it's a bit trickier since they generally expect
certain HTTP Servlet-specific objects to be available. You will
generally want to keep your actions as simple as possible and move most
of your application/business logic into POJO service classes to make
unit testing easier.
You can also use tools such as Cactus and HtmlUnit to help with creating
integration tests and such. Mock frameworks such as the one Martin
mentioned can also be a good choice.
