[webbeans-dev] The TCK harness

If you watch Web Beans SVN, you will have seen a flurry of activity around the TCK. The TCK harness is now out of development (perhaps beta quality) and supports: * reusing the same test cases for incontainer and standalone tests * declarative definition of test artifacts (a list of classes/xml DDs for standalone, WAR or EAR for incontainer) * an html debug mode for incontainer tests * ability to launch tests and test cases from the IDE, both incontainer and standalone * deployment API (currently implemented for JBoss AS) * porting API which all JSR299 impls must implement to run the TCK (access to the current manager, ability to activate and deactivate contexts as needed) Still to come: * Ability to execute servlet based requests to test multi-request JSF and Servlet capabilities (mainly conversation support) * multiple artifact deployment to support JMS testing and remote EJB testing * test launcher for local JVM incontainer tests (EEJB mode) If you want to read more about developing tests, take a look at http://seamframework.org/WebBeans/JSR299TCKHarness (still very terse) or if you are interested in using the TCK, take a look at http://seamframework.org/WebBeans/JSR299TCKPortingPackage - OpenWebBean's guys, and other JSR299 implementors, I would love your feedback on using the TCK :-) Best, Pete -- Pete Muir http://www.seamframework.org http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Pete
