Hi Toby,
jbosstest is a bit of a hodge-podge. Let me try to
sort it out a bit.
The the core of this CVS module is the CTS stuff. CTS
is the conformity test suite. I haven't done much
documentation for this yet, but I will... I promise!
CTS is based heavily on JUnit which is a testing
framework. You asked for a pattern and in the context
of CTS the JUnit framework is it.
As far as the other test in jbosstest, they are the
contributions of the contributors to JBOSS. They are
adhoc and do not necessarily conform to an particular
standard, but more the style of an individual
developer. They in turn test individual pieces of
code or functionality that were coded by a
developer/contributor, many having been developed
prior to adopting JUnit as a testing framework.
Does this help? I can provide further clarification
if needed.
cheers,
peter
