Most of the job of the module is to dialog with remote services. I don't feel like mocking Twitter or LinkedIn service behavior to create my test. Do you have any suggestion to set those tests ? for the moment, all I see is to create a test account on these services to post update and request timeline, but it won't really test OAuth authentication since this ask user interaction. Any thought ?

Don't they have test accounts devs can use to try their integration apis? I know many third party services I've used in the past have these already setup to exercise their full API.

Any thought ? Hi Antoine, I will try to write an ftest for the social web-client example with Selenium this week, using some test account. I'll let you know how it went, hopefully with a pull request :) I think it makes sense to also have unit tests for those parts that do not require a browser... Cheers, Marek -- Marek Schmidt Seam QE

Antoine, Sorry if you've already considered this... SoapUI can generate all the infrastructure for mock SOAP and REST services. Adds some complexity to your testing stack, however.
