Hello:
I divide my query into more elaborative way through which you can
easily understand what I need to know.
Objective:
Based on available source code and JUnit test code of Eclipse platform
I want to evaluate the package level functional testing in corresponding to the
efforts done for the testability. Also I want to find the reflection of the
testing efforts in corresponding to the package level Metrics.
Research Problem:
Our methodology is to accomplish the empirical study for the evaluation
of a set of object-oriented package level metrics in relation to predict the
effort require for the testing activities. These metrics which has the known
effect on testing effort inform us to determine the real factors which affect
the testability of the system. These results may come up to final set of refine
metrics which has significant effect on testability of the system.
Questions:
We have opened every folder in the Eclipse platform SDK and
corresponding to the JUnit test folder of the Eclipse platform. We try to find
the efforts in the form of the corresponding same packages for testing to be written
in JUnit.
a- We have seen the problem that if we have selected any package
from Eclipse testing folder i.e C:\Eclipse JUnit
test\eclipse-testing\eclipse\plugins
and corresponding source folder C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2-win32-latest
release\eclipse\eclipse\plugins we found that they are different
in version number.
How we identify JUnit test folder which is written for test the
corresponding source
folder. In short how can we find the pair <source, test>
in package or other level?
b- Which files is showing the package level test information; through
that we can
understand the package level functional testing in Eclipse?
c- Is in the download option in www.eclipse.org all source code and
test code of Eclipse
available. (Because I found no .java files after un jar the .jar
files in some test code or
source )
d- There is any tutorial available for information about how package
level functional
testing was done in Eclipse project.
I hope for the positive reply as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Aleem Alvi
