[jbpm-dev] Persistence "test framework"

[Mauricio Salatino]

Hi Marco,
I'm working with another community guy in a jBPM5 testing framework,
can you check that code and see how we can merge your ideas with ours?

https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/tree/testing-framework/jbpm-testing-framework

This testing framework is getting really powerful and we are expecting
to get it ready to merge in the next couple of weeks if everyone is ok
with it.

Right now the testing framework support the configuration of
persistence via Annotations what we think that is good and easy to
use, we definitely need support for multiple DBs as you mention and
having those features to test backward and forward compatibility
sounds great as well.

Check the following tests:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/blob/testing-framework/jbpm-testing-framework/src/test/java/org/jbpm/test/JbpmJUnitRunnerTest.java

Please let us know what you think.

Cheers
