[GSoC] Proposal - Automated webapp tests
Hi,
As we currently only have normal JUnit tests for automated testing in
MyFaces Core, it would be really great to have a way to test MyFaces Core
automatically in a real webapp at build time with maven. Of course, we
currently have the test-webapp, but we still have to check each page
manually here, if we want to test everything, which is long-winded.
To accomplish something like that we could use test frameworks like e.g.
Canoo WebTest or HttpUnit + Jetty or something similar. I also want to
mention JSFUnit here, although we won't be able to use it since it is LGPL
licensed.
The goal of this GSoC project would be to find alternatives and also to find
the best-fitting test framework for MyFaces Core. Then the goal would be to
integrate it with MyFaces Core, to define rules and provide how-tos and to
write a bunch of test cases.
This would help us enormously in ensuring and improving the quality of
MyFaces Core by getting a far bigger test coverage and more possibilities to
test.
What do you think? Are there any students who are interested in working on
this?
Regards,
Jakob

Hi,
This sounds really good, I would enjoy working on this.
So, if it's ok with everybody, I would really like to dig in on this issue
and the test frameworks that can be used for this.

i just mention the most important issue (to keep it short): imo the current
module is ~ok for basic myfaces-core tests.
however, it doesn't fit e.g. for testing extensions. (the module uses too
much mock implementations.)
you won't see some important issues. so some tests aren't really reliable as
soon as you are using it for testing something like extensions.
imo it would be nice to have e.g. a jetty based test environment which we
(and also our users) can use for testing extensions, (sample-) webapps, ...
based on such an environment we can run unit tests (which shouldn't be as
verbose as the current unit tests) with myfaces-core and also with mojarra.
with the same environment we could also run jmeter- and something
like httpunit-tests.
the final solution should be a convenient test-suite with detailed and clear
test-reports.

Frankly, I like MyFaces test. It "just" has to be improved, but we can
totally use it (actually that's what we're doing right now). The only thing
we can't use MyFaces test is for a real webapp-test, and that is were the
GSoC project comes up!
Furthermore I don't think we need a subproject for this. Everything which
fits into automated testing fits into MyFaces test, so why not use the
existing one and improve it instead of creating yet another thing.

yes - it's an improved version of shale test.
however, it would be nice to have a more modern solution e.g. with a fluent
api, better reporting, ...
so we could compare it with the existing solution.

Isn't the Myfaces test (svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/test) not the
successor of shale test ?
Automated test are indeed very useful, an alternative (easier to set up
maybe) of JSFUnit would be great.

hi jakob,
additions:
#1: yesterday (in our discussion about it) we also talked about a
replacement for shale-test (e.g. based on easymock or mockito or ...).
#2: since we also need it for sub-projects like extval, codi,... we should
create e.g. a new extensions- or myfaces-commons-module for it.

Selenium is actually quite nice. I used it on a previous project. It is
really easy to record scripts, but also integrates very well with a Maven
build, for example using Selenium RC.
But it's 100% client side, so you don't have the deep JSF insight as with
JSFUnit. My only JSFUnit usage was the beta, which was like 2 years ago, so
I don't know the current state.
