Add mocked unit test framework
------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-2842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2842
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: ALL COMPONENTS
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Bob Morley
Add the ability to create "true" unit tests -- ones that only test the confines
of the method itself and using mocking techniques and dependency injection.
This focuses the unit test on the actual code in the method and makes the
assumption that other methods have been properly tested and will work. This
does not suggest that there is not also value in unit tests that test more of
an integration between components (such as a test that will actually invoke
services using a the real dispatcher and manipulate entities with the real
delegator).
The goal of this will be to make it easy and very quick to test java-based
methods (initial focus on services) along with not having to start an ofbiz
container creating a suite of very quick method focused unit tests.
I have attached a first pass at some of the base classes and a sample of a
"mostly complete" unit test for the DateDimensionServices class (which has one
method). Looking for feedback on this approach, potential for community
collaboration, and potential buy-in. Some other things that are still to be
done --
- more samples
- integration into ant build
- solution to the "static worker" issue
- UtilResourceBundle solution (I have it partially commented out)
- easy verification of service interface adherence (servicedef existance &
IN/OUT validation)
- potential for GenericEntity get/set validation (verify entitydef adherence)
(may not want to do this)
- investigate potential for mocked simple methods
- ant driven code coverage metrics
