Thanks for the reminder Brett... not sure how I forgot about that
presentation!
So yes, let's definitely talk about it at the conference.
BTW, in addition to this presentation and others that might be
related, we have a BOF session on Thurs evening to talk about future
stuff to work on in OFBiz. Anyway, yes, there will be time to talk.
And yes, for everyone who is not attending I'm sure people will be
open and communicative (as is normally the case) about new features,
direction, etc. Still, the best experience and involvement is to
attend, so if you can, it's not too late!

David,
We have been using SeleniumRC and an extension called SeleniumXml
that I
will be presenting on at the ApacheCon conference next week. These
could be
called from a normal ant process or used in Cruise Control.
Let's talk more about this next week at the conference.

Erwan,
It would be great to have some tests that go through the user
interface,
but we don't have tools for this yet that fit into the automated
test system
in OFBiz (ie so they can run along with other tests, and run
automatically).
The goal is for the tests to all work with an "ant run-tests" (or
"java
-jar ofbiz.jar tests"), and to cover as much of OFBiz OOTB as
possible, and
then to also be easy to customize or comment out those that no
longer apply
after people customize or add on to OFBiz.
If you guys would like to work on getting Selenium tests to work
this way,
that would be great. Others have looked at this and run into
troubles, so
the last idea I heard was to use something different and that might
be more
manual for initial test writing, but probably easier to maintain.
At Hotwax we've written/recorded a bunch of Selenium tests for
clients, but
they are difficult to maintain and as far as we've gone they also
have to be
manually run and watched.

Here at Nereide, we are ready to make selenium tests (it's a task
we have
planned to do, but which is always postponed....).
So, if it's ok with you and that you are interested in that, we
are going
to make it real !

there has been an effort to put in test units.

And fixing the existing tests that are broken. :|
This is an area where it would be REALLY GREAT to have more
effort go
into the project. Yep, great enough to capitalize "REALLY" and
"GREAT".
Who has worked on the unit tests that are in place? I'll admit I
haven't
much except on the toolset and some of the framework unit tests
and helping
some of the Hotwax Media people who wrote many of the tests that
now exist,
especially the ones in the various applications.
Is there anyone interested in working on this stuff? If there are
enough
people who want to actively work on it we can setup some
coordination
resources (ie Jira tasks, confluence pages, etc). If there are
only 2-3 then
coordination through the mailing list would be better, and more
visible to
others possibly interested.
