[jdf-dev] Getting the quickstarts functionally tested

We had a meeting today in Brno at the JBoss AS Face to Face to discuss how to get functional tests done for the quickstarts and archetypes. Karel has already done functional tests for the quickstarts and archetypes that come under WFK (i.e. RichFaces, GWT, Errai, HTML5). He started by doing a quick demo for us of what he has done. We then discussed how to get the rest of the quickstarts having functional tests, and quickly decided it was too much work for one person to do! These tests not only validate the quickstarts, but also test EAP functionality, end-to-end. They should form part of the acceptance tests for EAP and other products. Here is the plan we came up with 1) We will prioritise the quickstarts to test, so that we hit the stuff that matters most, first. Pete will do this. 2) We will create a template in the upstream to give everyone a place to start. We will also add the ones we have so far, so that we have examples to follow. Karel will do this. 3) We will review the way Paul has the quickstart deployments tests set up already, and see if it can be improved, or Karel's approach can be improved. Paul and Karel will do this. 4) We will coordinate getting the tests added, dividing the work up between volunteers. Shelly will coordinate this. Volunteers (or people we volunteered ;-) to help with this, and take a quickstart or two: * Pete * Rafael * Jason P * Ondra Zizka * Vladimir Dosoudil (maybe) * Shelly * Cheng Fang Anyone else who can help out, especially original quickstart authors, we would really appreciate it! If you can email Shelly to say what you can do, then that would be great. She'll let us know when we have all the bits in place (tempaltes, examples etc) to start add the Selenium tests. Pete
