Hi all, The Qpid Java Broker team came to the realization that we have a gap in our system tests for Qpid Java Broker. At the moment our system tests are based on API provided by JMS client implementations. The JMS API does not allow us to test all aspects of AMQP implementation on broker side. Thus, we are looking into introduction of special system tests which would allow to test AMQP communication between test clients and broker. We need a framework which would allow us to test broker responses on receiving various test AMQP frames.
Ideally we would like to have an ability within the test framework to build AMQP test frames, send them to the Broker and assert the Broker response frame(s). We are looking into testing of AMQP 1.0 but potentially the test framework can be expanded to test earlier AMQP protocols. It seems that proton-j is a good candidate for writing such testing framework. However, before jumping into implementation with proton-j I would like to understand what are the testing approaches used by other projects within Qpid space and outside Qpid. Perhaps, we can re-use other project testing frameworks for testing Qpid Java Broker. Potentially we can try to use "Qpid Client Interoperability Test Suite" for implementing such tests but I am not sure about practicality of such approach, as the Test Suite seems is testing a set of predefined scenarios. Please, correct me if I am wrong. More over, I tried to build the Test Suite following the instructions provided in QUICKSTART but make failed with the below [ 2%] Building CXX object shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/qpidit/QpidItErrors.cpp.o In file included from /home/alex/workspace/qpid-interop-test/shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/qpidit/QpidItErrors.cpp:22:0: /home/alex/workspace/qpid-interop-test/shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/qpidit/QpidItErrors.hpp:25:24: fatal error: json/value.h: No such file or directory #include <json/value.h> ^ compilation terminated. shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/build.make:62: recipe for target 'shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/qpidit/QpidItErrors.cpp.o' failed make[2]: *** [shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/qpidit/QpidItErrors.cpp.o] Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:803: recipe for target 'shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [shims/qpid-proton-cpp/src/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/all] Error 2 Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 Please let me know if we can reuse any existing AMQP testing framework. That would save some time for "re-inventing the wheel". Any suggestions, ideas and recommendation are welcome.
