Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-12016: ----------------------------------------- This seems like a good start to making this part of the codebase more testable, thanks. To warrant committing this type of mini-testing-framework, we should have at least a few good use cases for tests implemented. The hints test you linked is a nice example. Did you have anything else in mind that might be a good fit for this? > Create MessagingService mocking classes > --------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-12016 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12016 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Testing > Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski > Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski > > Interactions between clients and nodes in the cluster are taking place by > exchanging messages through the {{MessagingService}}. Black box testing for > message based systems is usually pretty easy, as we're just dealing with > messages in/out. My suggestion would be to add tests that make use of this > fact by mocking message exchanges via MessagingService. Given the right use > case, this would turn out to be a much simpler and more efficient alternative > for dtests. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
