[jboss-as7-dev] Simplifying testsuite structure

Folks, the current state is + demos + api + internals + legacy + spec + testsuite + api + benchmark + domain + integration + smoke + spec + stress some of these modules are empty. It is hard to find the "right location" for new tests. The demos are not self verifying. Instead I propose a simplified structure like this + (demos removed) + testsuite + benchmark + domain + integration + smoke + stress #1 demos removed The artefacts in the various demos modules are currently reused by testsuite modules (mainly smoke). demos are collapsed into smoke. I believe a well documented smoke testsuite can serve the purpose of demos and be a standalone deliverable. To be standalone you need to add a mvn repository entry to smoke/pom.xml. Users can download this as a binary and run 'mvn test' on it. Test cases should be organised in packages according to their functional area. It is guaranteed that the demos work because the smoke tests run on every build. Smoke tests should be well documented. #2 Collapse testsuite api+spec into integration The integration testsuite should only have dependencies on spec and api modules. Where this is not the case (i.e. a test depends on internal impl) the dependency could be flagged and an api module could be made available. Test cases should be organised in packages according to their functional area. There may be test packages that reference jiras (e.g. as835 <https://github.com/tdiesler/jboss-as/tree/master/testsuite/integration/sr...>). The main motivation is, that it is intuitively clear where to put a test. Even more importantly, where to look for already existing test coverage. cheers -thomas -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thomas Diesler JBoss OSGi Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
