Hi, Folks I'm about to write some unit tests for what I have committed. However it seems a little bit heavy weight if I follow the guide http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/COMM/Unit+Testing+101
1) About IoC, I had to inject all dependent DAOs/Managers for the class under test, even if I want to test one method which needs only one or two DAOs. Sure I can get it around by writing Mocks by implementing interfaces but that results in a class with a lot of empty TODO methods. I wonder if it fit the convention to bypass the IoC and directly create dependency I needed, suppose I don’t need it get configured or started automatically. 2) About mocks/stubs, I know Mockito is removed from tree, but without a mock utility, it is lengthy to create stub method(same reason as above). Any chance that we can bring it back or find a replacement? ResourceManagerTest is an example of this, it injects almost everything for one test method, and it still fails with red bar because of broken dependencies. Following is a pseudo snip with Mockito mocks and without locator/injector, it seems more neat and readable: [code] StorageManager storageMgr = mock(StorageManager.class); doReturn(true).when(storageMgr).storagePoolHasEnoughSpace(Arrays.asList(volA), sp1); _firstFitPlanner._storageMgr = storageMgr; .... ... result =_firstFitPlanner.findPotentialDeploymentResources(....) assertTrue(...) [/code] Welcome any comments on this topic Regards Mice
