[wildfly-dev] Elytron integration tests in WildFly testsuite

[Josef Cacek]

Hi,

EAP QE and Elytron Dev teams would like to raise a discussion about how the Elytron integration tests will be added to the WildFly/EAP testsuite.
We would like to agree on a unified approach across the testsuite, so we don't end up in situation where each component comes with its own "best-fitting" solution.

We see following requirements:
1. new features which come with Elytron need to be covered by integration tests
2. existing scenarios have to stay working when Elytron is configured as the default security subsystem
3. legacy security subsystem must stay working in parallel

Our teams came to agreement that the safest way would be to copy whole existing testsuite modules into new ones. E.g. 

cp -r testsuite/integration/basic testsuite/integration/basic-legacy-security
# + Reconfigure testsuite/integration/basic to use Elytron
# + Add @Ignore to all tests which fail with Elytron or use directly the old security configuration

The modules would just live side by side - basic would use Elytron configuration, basic-legacy-security would use configuration similar to (or same as) the current server configuration.

In the next step we will go through the Ignored tests (the TODO list) for Elytron and rewrite them or report issues if necessary.

By this way we would keep all the test coverage for legacy security. We would also have all existing scenarios covered (or at least present) for Elytron configuration.

Are there any objections to this suggestion?

Thanks,
