Analysis

Overview

Automatic tests need to be improved. Latest Hudson build reports 288 test failures out of 962 tests.

Task requirements

• Revise the current unit tests
• Remove any useless test cases (for more, see implementation idea).
• Make as much as possible tests / demos to work. This includes improving the source if tests report problems.
• Writing new tests is not required for this revision, since it is too much effort.

Task result

Removed useless tests, others - passing.

Implementation idea

• Read about how to write good unit tests, PLATFORM_STANDARDS_AUTO_TESTS for documented convensions for testing and "Code smells" in the internal backlog. Look also at the available demos.
• Describe what needs to be removed, what will be repaired and what tests need to be written during the next revision.
• Use FakeModuleRegistry where you need to use extension points.

How to demo

Run all the available tests (through Eclipse, right click sophie2-platform, run as.., maven test).

Design

• While refactoring tests, look for the following things:
  • Tests should UnitTestBase or IntegrationTestBase
  • All resources needed for tests should be placed in the /src/test/resources folder of the module where the test is in
  • Remove testing of simple getters
  • Repair fake JavaDoc
  • Where ither modules are needed, use FakeModuleRegistry.start(). In this case, make the class extend IntegrationTestBase. Look specifically at the modules ewhich have to be started, this is a common mistake.
  • Take care for "TODO: refactor" things.
  • Remove "fail('not implemented')" methods.
  • Refactor any "try{fail();} catch(Throwable){}" statements, since they are useless. Fix the errors that will appear after refactoring them.
  • Either refactor commented tests, or delete them.
  • Look for the correct place of each test - if incorrect, fix it.
