Executing the default test run +----------------------------------- The default run executes all tests in the functional group. To just run the tests with txt and xml output the command is: - mvn test + $ mvn test Alternatively, you can execute the tests AND generate a report with: - mvn surefire-report:report + $ mvn surefire-report:report -If you already have ran a test cycle, and you want to generate a report off the current reports, then you use the report-only goal, ike so: +If you already have ran a test cycle, and you want to generate a report off the current reports, then you use the +report-only goal, ike so: - mvn surefire-report:report-only + $ mvn surefire-report:report-only -Executing different groups --------------------------- +2.3. Executing different groups +------------------------------- A group can be executed (using the default configuration) by simply using the groups property like so: - mvn -Dgroups=jgroups test + $ mvn -Dgroups=jgroups test Mutiple groups can also be executed, although if a test is in more than of the selected groups, it is executed only once: - mvn -Dgroups=jgroups,transaction test + $ mvn -Dgroups=jgroups,transaction test -Executing a single test ------------------------ -A single test can be executed using the test property.

This allows us to test a variety of environments and configurations without rewriting the same basic test over and over again. For example, the jgroups-tcp permutation executes the jgroups group using the TCP config. Each permutation requires a maven profile which defines the various options, environmental variables, etc. The command to run the jgroups-tcp permutatin is: +2.7.

This allows you to execute multiple permutations without wiping the results from the previous run. Note that due to the way maven operates, only one permutation can be executed per mvn command.

Running permutations manually or in an IDE +----------------------------------------------- +Sometimes you want to run a test using settings other than the defaults (such as UDP for "jgroups" group tests or the +DummyTransactionManager for "transaction" group tests). This can be achieved by referring to the Maven POM file +to figure out which system properties are passed in to the test when doing something different. + +E.g., to run a "jgroups" group test in your IDE using TCP instead of the default UDP, set the following: + + -Djgroups.stack=tcp + +Or, to use JBoss JTA (Arjuna TM) instead of the DummyTransactionManager in a "transaction" group test, set: + + -Dorg.jboss.cache.test.tm=jboss-jta + +Please refer to the POM file for more properties and permutations. + +2.9.
