[hyades-dev] JUnit testcases required for Hyades 1.3 and 3.0

[Valentina Popescu <popescu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a new requirement coming from
the WSWB where all projects should have JUnit testcases created for the
1.3 and 3.0 stream. As a result, all teams contributing to the project
should provide junit testcases for their own functionality.

These are the guidelines for defining
a junit testcase:

1. The name of the plugin containing
the testcases should end in .tests
For example org.eclipse.hyades.trace.tests

2. You do not have to create one
test plugin per plugin under test.
On contrary, since the junit testcases
will be used only by the build process to validate the driver we can use
one plugin per functionality. Hyades already has about 168 plugins and
features and we intend to reduce this number on the 3.0 stream. Any effort
on this direaction will help improve the overall performance.

We have been working on defining testcases
for the trace and log functionality, including UI testing. The test plugin
will be available as soon as the CVS module is created. 
Since we have gained some experience
going through this process, we'll be more than happy to share it with you
:)  
 
For any questions related to how to
create testcases please contact  Stanley Shiah/Toronto/IBM.
