I agree. We need some *real* tests first so that we can see if the
setup we have no will work, or will not. Looks like it might need
some more changes before we'd want to make a cookie cutter.

I'm afraid I think it's way too early to try to categorize where
tests should go. Based on my experience so far I think we need to
work on simplifying how to set up a small app and have some simple
tests for it first. Once we have enough of these to confuse
ourselves about organization, and it's dead simple to write a new
one, we can worry about categorizing them.
For instance it might be useful to have a maven archetype to set up
everything except the app to test and the actual test cases.

Since there were some questions today on where to drop new tests,
I'll
take a stab at creating a convention. Feel free to offer your
suggestions so that we can modify it as we go along.
We began by having 2 testsuites just as an example.
geronimo/testsuite/
console-testsuite
deployment-testsuite
But almost everything can fall under the category of the
deployment-testsuite since most tests do need some deployable
artifact. So I think we should use the deployment-testsuite purely
for
testing the deploy tool. Especially, it should be used to test
features like hot-deploy, redeploy and undeploy which have had JIRAs
before.
We should categorize the tests so that they reflect the broad
functional areas of the server.
* web-testsuite (servlets, jsp, jstl)
* enterprise-testsuite (ejb, jpa, jms, jacc, jta, javamail, jaf etc)
* mgmt-testsuite (jee management, deployment)
* webservices-testsuite (wsee, jaxb, stax, saaj, ws-metadata etc)
* performance-testsuite (server startup time, server footprint etc)
* security-testsuite
* console-testsuite
* regression (compatibility)
If nobody has any objection to this top categorization, I shall go
ahead and create these testsuites over the weekend. Meanwhile you may
drop your tests in the existing testsuites for now. I shall move them
appropriately.
Lastly, how do we deal with super apps like daytrader that can span
across multiple testsuites ?
Cheers
Prasad
