Module for automated webapp tests for MyFaces core + extensions
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACESTEST-6
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACESTEST-6
Project: MyFaces Test
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jakob Korherr
Assignee: Jakob Korherr
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. Of course, we currently have the
test-webapp, but we still have to check each page manually here, if we want to
test everything, which is long-winded. In addition, it would be cool if we
could use this also for testing of MyFaces extensions against MyFaces Core and
Mojarra.
To accomplish something like that we could use test frameworks like e.g. Canoo
WebTest or HttpUnit + Jetty or something similar. Basically anything that works
with jetty in maven, but can also be used with other servers like tomcat or
glassfish, would be ok here. I also want to mention JSFUnit here, although we
won't be able to use it since it is LGPL licensed.
The two most important things about this module would be 1) that everything has
to work totally automated within maven and without a browser (so I wouldn't
consider selenium as an option) and 2) a fluent and easy API to write those
tests (otherwise no one would use it).
This would help us enormously in ensuring and improving the quality of MyFaces
Core and its extensions by getting a far bigger test coverage and more
possibilities to test.
