Automation testing in ofbiz
Hi,
Is there any method in ofbiz which may help automating the front end testing
process?
I need to test Ftls. Is there something similar to struts test cases for
FTL's we use in ofbiz.
Thanks and regards,

The easiest techniques I have seen are:
- searching for key strings which can be numbers, names, etc
- post-test validation, ie other tests in a series that run after or
between UI level tests to check data in the database and such

I just got Grinder up and working today and am very impressed. It took
2-3 hours to get comfortable with it enough to get the TCPProxy to work.
I still have jython/python to learn, but you don't need much to get it
going. It is the TCPProxy filter that allows you to capture your
browser activity and then play it back as a test. That is worth the
price of admission right there.
What I don't see yet, is the best way to test the HTML that comes back
from a front-end test to see if it passes. Is it to compare it to
"standard"? That doesn't seem practical because a small difference would
make the test fail. I see that there is python interface to Tidy, so i
wonder if the answer isn't to run the response thru Tidy and then use
Freemarker to process the response to see if the test criteria is met.
Doing that from scratch for each test would be prohibitive, so I am
wondering if there is some sort of shortcut that, perhaps, ofbiz can
help with. I haven't thought it thru, but maybe there are some sort of
markers that can be placed there, that could easily be found using the
xpath capabilities of freemarker. Maybe those markers can be triggered
from the widget definitions. Just thinking out loud there.

Try something like Grinder (on SourceForge). This is one candidate
for the in-progress OFBiz suite of testing tools.
