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>

OSGi and Arquillian


OSGi support within Arquillian is primarily focused on JBoss OSGi. When you test an application using the OSGi, both an embedded and a managed application server deployment are supported. The embedded runtime is purely OSGi, though you could add support for other components manually. The embedded runtime is best for testing out plain embedded OSGi modules. The full application server deployment should be used for any deployments that leverage EJBs or CDI components. The JBoss OSGi runtime in embedded mode may help you run tests in your Java SE application that uses JBoss OSGi; this would have to be your container in the SE mode.

This chapter focuses primarily on how to use the Arquillian OSGi extension to test using JBoss OSGi in your application. We do end up using an early release of the next version of the framework, since support is very limited in the current release.
