There is much work to be done - If you have any test related documentation, strategy, plans, scripts or thoughts, please do forward details/links/documents and I will initiate a high-level review to determine what we have, where ofbiz is currently, where you'd like to take it, and start developing a test strategy to support that. I'd be happy to meet in or around London to discuss this further,

We really need contributions in this area. A fair amount of infrastructure has been developed for testing in OFBiz, and the design in general is very granular, split into traditional enterprise architecture tiers, and both white- and black- box testable. The current testing infrastructure is made for test configuration and scripts that can go into the code repository and be run from the command line through the same startup jar that is normally used to run OFBiz (unless it is deployed in an external application server, of course). It is based on JUnit so that it is easy to plug in JUnit tests or anything that uses the JUnit interfaces, and for some test sets it would even be possible to run the tests from a JUnit client app. This is also designed to allow the tests to be included in each OFBiz component to that a new component added into OFBiz can not only have classpath entries, entity info, service info, webapps, etc but they can also have test suites that are run with the rest for general and regression tests. Anyway, we talked a bit about testing at the last OFBiz User Conference in November of last year. Based on that and other discussions we are planning on spending to some good time at the upcoming OFBiz developers conference (a sort of 1 week hackathon, if you will) to flesh this out and create a number of example test artifacts. The trick after that will be getting a nice test suite put together for as much of OFBiz as possible! As I said before we could really use help in this area. We'll definitely need help when we are ready to create the comprehensive test suite, but even before then we would appreciate feedback on testing tools and processes. -David On Jan 29, 2007, at 6:57 AM, Harry Dhillon - Worldtestlabs wrote: > David/Andrew, > > All and more is my answer, although initial focus will be on > building integrated and automated test strategies for ofbiz > adopters - being more business/industry centric than dev/tech > centric.
