The Three Test Suite Modes
Contents
Background
To ease the use of unit testing in our project we created three types of unit tests:
- Bare – clear Junit mode, the tester can exercise his class without referring to Eclipse API.
- Headless – using PHPIDE test framework, Eclipse API but still avoid referring to Eclipse workbench UI.
- GUI - using PHPIDE test framework along with Eclipse components without any constraints of UI.
Each one of the types has its own test suite, named: “<mode>TestSuite.java” and its own folder named “<mode>” under org.eclipse.php.test plug-in.
Creating a new test class under that folder automatically assigns the test into its test suite.
How to run / debug the suites?
Bare
- Create Launch under the “Junit” element and direct to “org.eclipse.php.test.BareTestSuite” test class.
- On the Arguments tab fill in the VM arguments “-ea -DCreateGolden=false”
Headless
- Create Launch under the “Junit Plug-in Test” element and direct to “org.eclipse.php.test.HeadlessTestSuite” test class
- On the Main tab, choose “[No Application] – Headless mode” in the program to run filed.
- On the Arguments tab fill in the VM arguments “-ea -DCreateGolden=false -DEnableWorkbench=false” (disables the UI actions)
GUI
- Create Launch under the “Junit Plug-in Test” element and direct to “org.eclipse.php.test.GUITestSuite” test class
- On the Main tab, choose “org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench” in the program to run filed.
- On the Arguments tab fill the VM arguments “-ea -DCreateGolden=false -DEnableWorkbench=true” (enables the UI actions)
