Summary
In this chapter, we have gone through one critical part of enterprise systems: integra-
tion testing. Historically, one main downside of Java EE is its testability, but Arquillian
has really solved this issue to a great extent.
Used as an extension of the JUnit framework, Arquillian excels in checking the integ-
ration layer that exposes the business logic in an enterprise Java application.
Arquillian hooks into your testing framework's life cycle and starts reacting to events
to manage the container (start/stop). It also bundles the
test
class into a deployable
archive with dependent classes and resources.
In the next chapter, we will discuss developing applications using JBoss Messaging
Provider (HornetQ) by introducing examples with message-driven beans.
