Jakob Korherr updated MYFACESTEST-47:
-------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> Improve module for automated webapp tests for MyFaces core + extensions (aka
> webapptest)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACESTEST-47
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACESTEST-47
> Project: MyFaces Test
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: webapptest
> Reporter: Jakob Korherr
> Assignee: Jakob Korherr
> Labels: gsoc2011
>
> Last year we had a student working during GSoC on an module for automated
> webapp tests for MyFaces core + extensions. The outcome of this project was
> "webapptest".
> "webapptest" uses Arquillian and HtmlUnit to run JSF (integration-)tests
> against a real servlet container with a "real" browser, allowing to do
> assertions on client and on server-side.
> The current version of webapptest is pretty much the outcome of last year's
> GSoC, however, with some bugfixes and some improved features (see MYFACESTEST
> component webapptest). Some features could not be implemented last year,
> because they were technically impossible.
> Although it already works pretty well, there is still a lot of work to do:
> - The initial goal of "webapptest" was also to be able to run one test
> against multiple containers with different configurations (e.g. tomat 6.0.31
> + MyFaces 2.0.3, tomcat 6.0.31 + MyFaces 2.0.4, tomcat 7.0.1 + MyFaces 2.0.4,
> tomcat x.x.x + Mojarra 2.0.x, Glassfish 3.1 + Mojarra 2.0.x, etc ...),
> allowing MyFaces extensions to automatically test and prove their
> interoperability! This task is not a very easy one, because it requires a lot
> of ClassLoader related work.
> - The API + assertion possibilities need to be improved
> - Better error messages + tracing
> - the implementation must be more stable (along different containers)
> - type-safe dependency configuration (including automatically resolving
> transitive dependencies)
> ...
> Thus, I think it would be very great to have a student working on this stuff
> again in this year's GSoC.
