AGR from JUnits [message #62769] Thu, 30 March 2006 18:10 Go to next message

Originally posted by: dschaefer.qnx.com

I have a collection of JUnit plug-in tests already, and I generate a
nice report as part of my nightly builds scripts that gets posted as a
web page. (This is for the CDT by the way).

What I'd like to do now is add GUI tests to this framework. I'm excited
to see AGR and its ability to capture and execute GUI tests. However,
I'd like to slide them nicely into my JUnit framework.

Has anyone done anything like this? If not, anyone interested in
something like this. I would mind spending some dev cycles making this
easier to do.

If you're willing to convert your JUnits to TPTP JUnits, then you can use a
single report template to display the results. TPTP allows the registration
of custom report templates, it also comes with an automatable service
framework that allows clients to run tests and report results via light
weight clients (e.g. ant/shell scripts).

I should mention that the automatable service framework is described under
the following topic in help contents:

from scripts and applications

I guess my point is that, no, I am not willing to give up my current
infrastructure. I am happy with the reports that it generates and I
don't have the time to make fundamental changes with how my nightly
builds are done.

From what I understand, TPTP oversolves my problem and forces me to use
a complicated service and reporting mechanism. All I want to do is add
JUnits to my current infrastructure that tests the GUI. In particular,
I'd like to call an AGR test programatically and have failures exposed
as JUnit failures.

Hi Dough,



You can run AGR tests programmatically using the automatable test framework.

I know there is a way for users to launch tests via a Java class. There is
some EclipseCon material on how users can write an automatable service:
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/test/documents/tutorials/eclipse Con2006/Achieving_Continuous_Integration_with_the_Eclipse_Te st_and_Performance_Tools_Platform_files/v3_document.htm



The only catch is that the results will be captured in an execution history
file. You'll need to use an existing automatable service to interpret the
results and cause JUnit failures/passes.



The primary developer of the automatable service framework is Scott
Schneider (scott.schneider@us.ibm.com). Joseph P Toomey
(jptoomey@us.ibm.com) is also fairly familiar with the framework. You can
either try to contact them personally or send out an email to the test
mailing list:

Thanks, Ali, sounds like the answer to my question is "no". Maybe I can
dig around the AGR code and talk to Scott and Joe to see if I can code
up a solution.

Cheers,
