[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-427?page=comments#action_12402291 ]
Bernd Fondermann commented on JAMES-427: ---------------------------------------- good question. I considered it but it seemed to me that ristretto is more complete/heayweight and thus less coding than commons-net. later when I did the RemoteManagerTest, I had to introduce commons-net anyway to use its telnet features. do you tend to migrate? i would not be oppose this. since you explicitly refer to the LGP license: I would propose (asking Columba develepors for) putting ristretto into ibiblio and download using maven. > [PATCH] Introduce Unit Testing > ------------------------------ > > Key: JAMES-427 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-427 > Project: James > Type: New Feature > Reporter: Bernd Fondermann > Assignee: Stefano Bagnara > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.3.0a2 > Attachments: unittest.txt, unittest1.2.patch, unittest2.0.patch, > unittest3.0.patch, unittest4.0.patch, unittest5.0.patch, unittest6.0.patch, > website.patch > > Patch, which incorporates Unit Testing into James project infrastructure. > Since there was no reaction on the dev-list since I proposed it a few days > ago, I'm uncertain if this is appreciated at all. > I think unit testing could become vital for > + helping QA > + supporting refactorings (e.g. relaxing avalon dependencies) > + testing while implementing new features (like IMAP) > + reproducing bugs > + testing fixes > I know that it's a long way to go to reach very good test-coverage. > But there is no risk in starting. > My determination would be to add 2 to 3 test methods per week. > It already helped me a lot understanding how parts of James work, although > this is only my first test for this codebase. > The patch utilizes JUnit 3.8.1 (junit.jar) and Ristretto > (ristretto-1.0-all.jar, can be found under http://columbo.sourceforge.net) > which the build script expects to find under /tools/lib but which are not > attached here in the first place. > tests are compiled and run invoking > build run-unit-tests > I'd feel more than happy about comments how to improve this testing > infrastructure. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
