Arquillian Testing Guide

By: John D. Ament

Overview of this book

<p>Integration testing sometimes involves writing complex codes. This book introduces you to the capabilities of Arquillian to enable you to write simple code with a broad range of integration tests for java applications. <br /><br />Arquillian Testing Guide serves as an introductory book to writing simple codes for testing java applications. This book will help you to develop richer test cases which can be run automatically while performing rigorous testing of the software. <br /><br />Arquillian Testing Guide introduces you to Arquillians features and capabilities. This book will help you understand the mechanism of creating deployments and test against those deployments. The book begins with basic JUnit test cases beginning with an enterprise test case, which then go on to discuss remote testing. During the course of the book, you will also learn how to mix container and non-container tests into a single test case. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to extend JUnit tests to work with Arquillian and deploy them to a container automatically.</p>

Running your tests – the downside


This chapter focuses entirely on container-level problems when running tests. These problems can be incompatibility of the JDK used or a remote server being offline. While this isn't meant to be a comprehensive guide on how to fix every problem, the hope is that this gives you ideas on where you can look to solve your problems when deploying your code during testing.

Dealing with problems running the container can be frustrating. Embedded containers typically log well on the client side, but you will not find the logs in the Surefire reports. You will need to capture log output in the output of your Maven run. With managed containers, the logs will be captured within your server's logs. Output from running the test client will be captured within your Surefire reports. It's essentially the same for remote containers, except that managed containers will contain startup and shutdown commands when complete.
