That is a great idea. I think most of the people who are currently
working on JUnit Tests are just using "ant run-install" and nobody has
used "ant run-tests" yet.
I have a confusion though with "ant run-tests". In the main build.xml
file, where this target is defined, there are no arguments passed for
the reader-name. Actually I think that for Test Data files there should
be a different reader-name e.g. "test", because if we use "demo" it will
get loaded when we run "ant run-install". So for using "ant
run-install" followed by "ant run-tests", we should create a new
reader-name for test data files and pass only this reader-name to the
"run-tests" target in main build.xml file. This way "run-install" will
load all the data and after that running "run-tests" will just load the
test data.
Am I thinking correct??

Why not run "ant run-install" before running the "ant run-tests"?
With that all data would be in place before the tests run.

David,
Thanks for correcting me. Actually, there was a problem using Demo
Data while preparing test data for order component.
OrderTestData.xml goes in the Order component. All the Demo Data for
ProductStore, DemoCustomer, etc. is in Ecommerce. Now, as the data
for order component is loaded before the data in ecommerce component,
it is getting difficult to use the demo data for the order. Is it
possible and appropriate to move the OrderTestData.xml file in
ecommerce component?
Can you please suggest solution for this problem?

1. tests SHOULD use the demo data; it is there for demonstration and
testing, and not using it would make various test scenarios more
complicated, and also introduce more dependencies between test cases
(as data that could be simply used would also have to be prepared)
2. please don't use the ext-test data file group; all of the ext*
file groups are meant to be used by components added onto OFBiz, and
not by anything in OFBiz itself; generally the best place for this
is in the "demo" file group, as then the data can be used for manual
testing and demonstration in addition to automated tests

Hi All,
Here are some of my opinions for everyone in the community who
are working on JUnit Test Case implementation for various processes
in OFBiz:
1) While doing entry for any Test Data file in ofbiz-component.xml
use reader-name="ext-test".
2) While running test cases use following build target with ant:
"run-install-exttest".
3) These are the test case specific reader-name and target in
OFBiz, so I think it is more appropriate to use them.
4) While using the target "run-install-exttest", no OFBiz Demo
Data is uploaded to the database. So while preparing the Test Data
make sure that it has no dependencies on any Demo Data.
Any comments for improvement or correction in my thoughts are
appreciable.
