there any way to break them up into two pieces?
It will not be easy..
The way the tests are built today is with DB-unit.
DB-unit allows to have an XML file with predefined data (called
fixtures) which is used to recreate the DB data each time a test-class
is run.
This is all fine, except that in our tests there are (at least) 2 issues:
1. The same fixtures.xml file is used in all DAO tests.
2. Some DAOs require fixtures for several tables.
Now, we could fix issue #1 by splitting the fixtures file into smaller
files, each relating to only one table, which would allow us to run
these tests in parallel on the same DB.
Issue #2 would require to figure out which tests require several
fixtures, and have them run isolated from the other tests which
require only a single table.
A simpler solution could be to have the tests run each on it's own db
schema (or it's own db) which eliminates the dependencies and allows
to run all in parallel, but is a bit more complicated to maintain (we
would need some script that generates these schemas/dbs for tests
automatically) and keeping multiple schemas up to date would also
require CPU time.
This is speaking in terms of the tests themselves, without considering
the build process itself.
There are two issues here:
1) DB connection is created during initialization of every test case,
and destroyed at the end of each test case execution
2) The fixtures data is inserted during initialization of every test case
I think both of these can be resolved by
- creating the test data only during initialization of the first test
case, which will include creating the connection (with auto-commit =
false), inserting fixtures data and committing it
- rolling back any changes done to the database during test case
execution in the tearDown method
I just tried this in two phases. Using the same connection across all
test cases brought down the dao unit tests run time from 4:42.683s to
1:07.628s, and inserting the fixtures data only once further brought it
down to just 22.295s ! (on my local development machine)
I've just sent a patch with these changes: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/7336
Hi Shireesh, I am also providing some input on some missing functionality
