Integrating functional testing with implementing Web Applications-WebTest & Maven

Self-linking

Recently in Appfuse saw the use of webtest-maven-plugin implementation of Web application integration testing, research, the feeling is very good, for Web application auto-build is very helpful, before the performance test can ensure that the basic functions of the Web application work properly, share to everyone.

Wettest working principle

It is a test tool for Web pages that are based on ant to run. Test all the features provided on the page by running different target. It works by using a more well-known htmlunit to test a page's functionality. Its workflow is to simulate a browser event (page provides the function: can call a URL, you can click on a Button,label, etc., you can assign values to the elements on the page), It then verifies whether the expected result is returned by grabbing the value of the title or element on the returned page.

integrated configuration of wettest and MavenConfiguration of Maven

Introduce Webtest-maven-plugin in the Pom.xml of Web applications, define the integration testing phase to perform the tests, validate the validation phase execution results, and generate reports after the system integration test. Also specify the address of the Web app, the file where the test case is located, the path to the generated file, the log level, and the policy that was taken when the error was encountered. This will automatically execute the WebTest test case during the MAVEN build phase. The specific configuration is as follows:

                    <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>webtest-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version&                        Gt <executions> <execution> <id>webtest-test</ Id> <phase>integration-test</phase> <goals                            > <goal>test</goal> </goals> </execution> <execution> <id                                >webtest-verify</id> <phase>verify</phase>                            <goals> <goal>verify-result</goal>    </goals> </execution> <execution> <id>webtest-report-html</id> <phase>post-integration-t Est</phase> <goals> <goal>report</g                        Oal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> webtest use case file (web-tests.xml) configuration

 because the general test is inseparable from this login interface, so the target of the login to pull out, as well as the connection Server Configuration Config task can also be extracted to put into two separate files.
