[jboss-dev-forums] [IronJacamar Development] - TestSuite - renaming and repackaging

Stefano Maestri [http://community.jboss.org/people/maeste] created the discussion "TestSuite - renaming and repackaging" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/573808#573808 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, during my refactoring of our test suite I'm wondering if we can make some renaming and repackaging of our test: * Remove .test package to have test classes in the same namespace of classes under test * Try to remove also unit namespace where it is there * We are running as Junit test only classes ending with TestCase. It is a quite usual and classic choice, but it is limiting the opportunity of selecting more self describing name for classes as for method in a BDD style. IOW it would be great to make us free of selecting not only the name of the method (for example shouldDoSomething), but also class name. In a BDD style it would be used to define more than one test stressing a class undertest, verifying in each test different aspect/behavior of class under test. Using a classic pet example we could have 2 different test for class Cat named for example as CatShouldBeAHunter (with methods shouldCatchMouses, shouldEatAnimals etc) and CatShouldBeDomesticAnaimal (with method shouldLoveMe, shouldMakeDisaster and so on :) ). To do that we should refactor also our build to consider every classes in the src/test as test case, apart of course some explicit exclusion. This explicit exclusion will be for support/mock class which should be put into a specific package (support or mock is a good name IMHO) and/or using a suffix in their name. * At the moment I'll leave every test ala TCK (i.e. org.jboss.jca.test.core.spec.chapter* packages in core module) as is. They are totally different kind of test and should not be considered as unit ones. Any comment is more than welcome S. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/573808#573808] Start a new discussion in IronJacamar Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
