In-Depth Information
The output from the test client can be checked manually for correctness.
Automated testing
Up to this point, the testing we have investigated is manual-based and requires
human intervention. For more extensive testing, we require an automated test
framework, which is just what is included in the SOA Suite EM Console.
The composite test framework
The SOA Suite includes a test framework for composites that supports the following:
•
•
•
Aggregation of multiple tests (called test cases) into a test suite
Generation of initial messages
Validation of input into and output from composites, references, and
components
Simulation of reference interactions
Reporting of test results
•
•
The composite test framework may be thought of as similar to the Java unit test
framework
JUnit
.
Composite test suites
Individual test cases are grouped into a test suite at the level of an individual
JDeveloper project. Note that in the current release, this is only supported for a single
composite. Multiple composites would require multiple test suites. Multiple test
cases in a single test suite can be executed with a single request, automating a large
part of the testing.
