Part 4
JUnit extensions
This last part of the topic deals with different kinds of
JU
nit extensions. We
cover all types of external projects that try to extend
JU
nit to the point where
the testing framework falls short. They test different aspects and layers of an
enterprise application.
We start by introducing the
HTMLU
nit and Selenium projects in chapter 12.
We show you how to test your presentation layer with these projects. We go into
details of not only how to set up your projects but also some best practices in test-
ing your presentation layer. Chapter 13 is dedicated, again, to testing your front
end. In that chapter we discuss how to test the Ajax part of your application. We
also introduce the JsUnit project and give some special hints on testing a Google
Web Toolkit (
GWT
) application.
Chapters 14 and 15 are dedicated to testing your server-side Java code. Chap-
ter 14 introduces the Cactus project, which focuses on testing your Java
EE
core
components (
JSP
s, servlets,
EJB
s, and the like). Chapter 15 describes the
JSFU
nit
project, which tests your
JSF
-based applications.
Chapter 16 is a small chapter that concentrates on testing component-oriented
applications. We describe various techniques for testing your
OSG
i services.
Chapters 17 and 18 are both dedicated to testing the persistence layer. These
chapters talk about the
DBU
nit project and give recipes for testing the
JPA
part of
an application.
The last chapter describes how to create your own extensions by means of the
Unitils and
JU
nit-addons projects.
