[[WildFly_Testsuite_Overview]]
= WildFly Testsuite Overview

This document will detail the implementation of the testsuite
Integration submodule as it guides you on adding your own test cases.

The WildFly integration test suite has been designed with the following
goals:

* support execution of all identified test case use cases
* employ a design/organization which is scalable and maintainable
* provide support for the automated measurement of test suite quality
(generation of feature coverage reports, code coverage reports)

In addition, these requirements were considered:

* identifying distinct test case runs of the same test case with a
different set of client side parameters and server side parameters
* separately maintaining server side execution results (e.g. logs, the
original server configuration) for post-execution debugging
* running the testsuite in conjunction with a debugger
* the execution of a single test (for debugging purposes)
* running test cases against different container modes (managed in the
main, but also remote and embedded)
* configuring client and server JVMs separately (e.g., IPv6 testing)

[[test-suite-organization]]
== Test Suite Organization

The testsuite module has a small number of submodules:

* *benchmark* - holds all benchmark tests intended to assess relative
performance of specific feature
* *domain* - holds all domain management tests
* *integration* - holds all integration tests
* *stress* - holds all stress tests

It is expected that test contributions fit into one of these categories.

The pom.xml file located in the testsuite module is inherited by all
submodules and is used to do the following:

* set defaults for common testsuite system properties (which can then be
overridden on the command line)
* define dependencies common to all tests (Arquillian, junit or testng,
and container type)
* provide a workaround for @Resource(lookup=...) which requires
libraries in jbossas/endorsed

It should not:

* define module-specific server configuration build steps
* define module-specific surefire executions

These elements should be defined in logical profiles associated with
each logical grouping of tests; e.g., in the pom for the module which
contains the tests. The submodule poms contain additional details of
their function and purpose as well as expanded information as shown in
this document.

[[profiles]]
== Profiles

You should not activate the abovementioned profiles by -P, because that
disables other profiles which are activated by default.

Instead, you should always use activating properties, which are in
parenthesis in the lists below.

*Testsuite profiles* are used to group tests into logical groups.

* all-modules.module.profile (all-modules)
* integration.module.profile (integration.module)
* compat.module.profile (compat.module)
* domain.module.profile (domain.module)
* benchmark.module.profile (benchmark.module)
* stress.module.profile (stress.module)

They also pprepare WildFly instances and resources for respective
testsuite submodules.

* jpda.profile - sets surefire.jpda.args (debug)
* ds.profile -sets database properties and prepares the datasource
(ds=<db id>)
** Has related database-specific profiles, like mysql51.profile etc.

*Integration testsuite profiles* configure surefire executions.

* smoke.integration.tests.profile
* basic.integration.tests.profile
* clustering.integration.tests.profile

== Integration tests

[[smoke--dts.smoke--dts.nosmoke]]
=== Smoke -Dts.smoke, -Dts.noSmoke

Contains smoke tests.

Runs by default; use -Dts.noSmoke to prevent running.

Tests should execute quickly.

Divided into two Surefire executions:

* One with full platform
* Second with web profile (majority of tests).

[[basic--dts.basic]]
=== Basic -Dts.basic

Basic integration tests - those which do not need special configuration
like cluster.

Divided into three Surefire executions:

* One with full platform,
* Second with web profile (majority of tests).
* Third with web profile, but needs to be run after server restart to
check whether persistent data are really persisted.

[[cluster--dts.clust]]
=== Cluster -Dts.clust

Sets up a cluster of two nodes.

[[iiop--dts.iiop]]
=== IIOP -Dts.iiop

[[xts--dts.xts]]
== XTS -Dts.XTS

[[multinode--dts.multinode]]
=== Multinode -Dts.multinode
