Kristian Waagan commented on DERBY-2460:
----------------------------------------
[ snip - comments on Dans and Kristians previous posts ]
js> Kristian, derbynet/testProtocol.java is a good candidate for the first
test. However, I think that writing a dummy test instead with comments and
explanations which might be used later as a template might be usefull.
I just want to point out that in principle, writing a unit test for a
package-private class is exactly the same as writing a unit test for a public
class.
We might just need some extra support for building and compiling the tests due
to our jar-file packaging and build scripts.
In my view, a template would be a template for writing JUnit tests, for which I
believe there is some material already available.
That said, if we are to make a "template test", I think it should be simple and
clean - without any complex JUnit tricks or such.
Does this make any sense, or am I overlooking some issues?
If so, please comment on it.

>
> Create a testing framework for writing unit tests that will not test the
> functionality but some other properties of the code like DRDA protocol,
> conditions of B-trees, behavior of locking, etc. These tests may be written
> in a same way like the function tests are but they will not test the public
> API but some underlaying Derby functions. So, there is a need for the tests
> to access some package private properties/methods.
> The discussion about this issue took place on derby-dev couple of months ago.
> Please, see

> Currently, there is an implementation of such a test in
> org.apache.derby.impl.drda.TestProto.
