Re: [bpel-dev] The lack of junit tests

[Simon D Moser <SMOSER@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

you're right - at the current moment the editor is more unstable since the
reconciliation work betweem DOM and EMF is going on. This was announced
several weeks ago on this list, and also the fact that in case you want to
get a stable version you should rather stay on the M3 build.
Second, as far as the automated JUnits goes, I agree with you. We should
have them, they have been planned for some time, but as you probably know
there is not a very good way of doing automated GUI JUnits as soon as GEF
is involved. Even TPTP etc. handles this with ... well ... deficiencies ;-)
I agree that for the model reconcilitation we could get better here. We
could automate regular JUnits for that special case -  however, limited
time and resources have been holding us back here.
Feel free to contribute some test cases if you want - we'd really like to
have some!

Cheers
Simon

Hi,

We're in the process of finalising our plans to adopt and integrate the
BPEL
2.0 editor into our product.

One of things which really concerns me is the apparent total lack of junit
tests - unless I'm missing something? I see no test plugins, nor test code
in the functional plugins.

I checked out HEAD a few hours ago and I've been playing around with it.
The
editor seems incredibly unstable. Right now I cannot save any BPEL file I
create. This may be related to the work around reconciliation between the
EMF models and the XML - I understand that the serialization is done via
the
XML DOM / SSE (is this understanding correct?). This is the kind of thing
which can and really (IMHO) must be accompanied by junit tests.

What is the policy of the BPEL Designer project regarding automated tests?

thanks
David Black
