The point is that there is no reason to separate the demo and test
data, and there are lots of reasons for combining them. Data that we
use for demonstration and manual tests is just as good for automated
tests, and for the most part the reverse is true (data good for
automated tests is also good for demonstration and manual tests).

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.
