Testing! Long and maybe OT..

[Matteo Pelucco]

Hi Magnolia!
I'm going to implement a sort of testing "standard" procedure to our new
Magnolia-based infrastructure. I'm quite sure it is an OT question, but
I think also this argument can interest others.

I would like to ask you a lot of things, but I will only ask:

1) How do you (automatically) test your modules?

Our idea is to test using TestNG [1] testing suite and Selenium [2]

The environment is the following:

1) Eclipse as IDE
2) Maven as building tool
3) TestNG as testing suite

Inside TestNG test, call Selenium client (Server started from maven
plugin). We use also cargo for launching tomcat and deploy our application.

The only "nebolous" point is how we can deploy a test-capable magnolia
instance inside the container.

We started to think to build a magnoliaAuthor / magnoliaPublic instance
with an already prepared repository (licence inside, module already
installed). But a lot of question came up to my mind:

- should the repository be on SVN?
- is it possible to use a Magnolia CE empty webapp project? And in this
case, is it possible to add customization (EE licence, modules, ...)?
- is it possible to run Integration Test without an Integration Test
Framework (like Continuum / Hudson)?

Any suggestion, thought, idea is really welcome !

Magnolia uses JUnit and EasyMock:

But yes, if you want to test using tools like Selenium you'll need to go
a bit further.

EasyMock is something I would use too to interface my test with, of course.
But of course, I would also use something like Selenium to test website
functionalities and TestNG / JUnit for functional testing.

I start to think that the only way is to have a Continuos Integration
environment...
