I am trying to set up DBUnit test AND test EO stuff also.
Why are you trying to test your database? It's generally easier to
do programmatic unit testing without involving things like the
database, network, or filesystem.
I'd be interested to hear how you approach testing EOs. I can
understand the motivation to exclude the database so that the test
run quickly and hence can be run frequently. However, I usually find
that very few of the interesting methods of my EOs can be tested
without a network of other EO objects. Some times it is reasonable
to create these by hand, but often this can be hundreds or thousands
of objects. So, although it makes the tests slow, I find it easier
to read them from a known state in the database. Do you have two
sets of tests, one quick, programmatic only set and one functional,
database using, slow set? This has always been a stumbling block for
me in terms doing unit testing but keeping the turn around quick. It
is not XP if you get bored and start surfing. :-)
Thanks,
Chuck
