hi jakob, additions:
#1: yesterday (in our discussion about it) we also talked about a replacement for shale-test (e.g. based on easymock or mockito or ...). #2: since we also need it for sub-projects like extval, codi,... we should create e.g. a new extensions- or myfaces-commons-module for it. regards, gerhard http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces 2010/3/26 Jakob Korherr <[email protected]> > Hi, > > As we currently only have normal JUnit tests for automated testing in > MyFaces Core, it would be really great to have a way to test MyFaces Core > automatically in a real webapp at build time with maven.

Are there any students who are interested in working on > this? > > Regards, > Jakob >
