I think it would be quite difficult to automate test writing. I think Sebastien needs to look differently at the tests. Tests should be written first and run against an interface w/ mock objects. This is one of the major benifits of session beans/spring service/ and the whole DependencyInjection thing. You can model, write a test that matches your requirements and then implement until your tests pass.
Now that's not to say that you can't stub the infrastructure out for testing. You might be able to take it as far as, say, the <<Services>> and <<Entities>> are now. You draw a line between the service and the dao and it gives you access to the dao in the service. It doesn't implement your business logic for you. That would be next to impossible for any MDA framework today to do. -Tim On Fri, 2005-04-29 at 09:22 -0600, Chad Brandon wrote: > Well you wouldn't need to understand the internals per say...but just > how a cartridge and metafacades work (we have plenty of examples and > documentation on that :)) > > Sebastien Arbogast wrote: > > >lol I was waiting for that one.
