The security tests are among the slowest integration tests that we've got. If there's a way, as Ruchith and Deepal mention, to actually test the same Axis2 functionality without the full security machinery, that would serve two purposes - speeding up the build and also more cleanly reducing the coupling between core Axis2 and other modules. I'd love to see that happen. The Rampart build will of course still test the full Axis2/security integration, we'd just be focusing the Axis2 tests more appropriately.

That said, +1 from me too. :)

I think I mentioned this couple of times earlier also.

Security tests provide very good integration tests for Axis2 and if you have developed Axis2, those are the hard tests to get passed when you are doing changes. Yes, I agree that we didn't have Axis2 specific tests to cover most of the integration tests these security tests are covering. Removing them to reduce the build time is not a very good idea at all.

At the same time, if the ecurity related modules are moved out of Axis2, then all these tests also must be moved out. I am sorry that I am not in a position to help with it these days, but it would be great if some one can write tests to cover the scenarios security tests were covering, before Rampart is moved out. As if we defer that, then it won't happen :)

HEre is my +1 with the above comments.

Deepal,

Do you think we have tests to cover the axis2 functionality that those
test covers?

If so or if someone volunteers to write some then lets remove the
rampart integration tests.

Thanks,
Ruchith

I think its better if we can move some of integration test cases , b'coz
that will help us to reduce Axis2 build time.

Thanks
