Description (last modified by bpindelski)

This story outlines the scope of work required during the OMERO.server test maintenance phase (summer 2013). The work is to be targeted at the dev_4_4 branch.

  1. Identified problems
  • integration tests are not always inline with how developers perceive the way code under test (server services) would work,
  • integration tests are split and, to some extent, duplicated between Java and Python,
  • the documentation on how integration tests are laid out and how exactly to run them is lacking,
  • unit tests rely on two different pieces of software: JUnit and TestNG, hence use different semantics,
  • test coverage isn’t measured,
  • PRs are often opened without corresponding changes to test classes,
  • OmeroJava is a test-only package and its name doesn’t convey its contents,
  • there is no clear naming pattern among test packages (e.g. unit vs. utest),
  • some of the tests are lacking comments where needed,
  • the testing frameworks (jMock, TestNG) are outdated,
  • other components (e.g. OmeroM) can’t reuse logic used for test scaffolding.
  1. Goals
  • to make the test more useful for developers; simpler and easier to write,
  • to ease the way tests are run and updated,
  • to allow other components of the OMERO codebase to reuse helper classes,
  • to make the integration tests de facto examples of how the unit under test should work,

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/1736 seems also to have some tickets relevant to this body of work.

On develop ./build.py -f components/server/build.xml test has plenty of unit test failures before it prints something about pre-instantiating singletons and hangs. As well as integration tests, we probably need to make sure that component unit tests get overhauled and Hudkins-ized.
