Description
Use Arquillian as unit test harness.
Pros:
- universal
- any scenario can be covered with similar approach
- standard test harness
- arquillian is de-facto industry standard
- better coverage
- more platforms can be covered by one set of tests tests running against different databases
- testing with various WF/EAP versions for free
- real testing
- tests ran by continuous integration reveal more real issues than classic unit tests
Cons:
- slower to execute
In order to execute tests faster, there are several strategies that can be employed:
- smoke testing
- pick some subset of tests that will be run during regular build - mvn clean install
- the full test suite can be ran as part of continuous integration OR on weekly basis
- leveraging JUnit categories - e.g. @Smoke
- mocked containers
- bootstrapping just features that are necessary (e.g. weld container)
- suite-level deployment
- deploy once per maven module
- developing against remote container
- minimal deployment-related overhead while testing against real container
For some use cases Arquillian might be the only solution, where architecting own test harness would mean reinventing application server itself:
