Presentation from JEEConf conference (Kiev, May 2011) about unit testing in Java with Unitils library.

1. Java Unit Testing with Unitils Mikalai Alimenkou http://xpinjection.com 21.05.2011

2. Background Java Technical Lead/Scrum Master at Zoral Labs 6+ years in software development 4+ years of working by Agile methodologies Expert in Agile engineering practices Founder and coachat XP Injection (http://xpinjection.com) Organizer of Selenium Camp and JEEConf conferences

3. General Idea TestNG

4. Unitils History Spring test integration Multi db support Various improvements Unitils 3.0 DbMaintain 2.2 Testing guidelines from brainstorm Separate modules Unitils 2.0 Unitils 1.0 DbMaintain 2.0 DbMaintain separated from Unitils Unitils RC1

5. Unitils Facts Open source Integrates with JUnit and TestNG Modular and flexible architecture Lots of useful utilities

6. Modular Architecture Existing modules DatabaseModule DbUnitModule HibernateModule MockModule EasyMockModule InjectModule SpringModule Create new or change implementation Configure only needed modules

7. Flexible Configuration Everything is configurable 3 levels of overridden properties

8. Database Testing Main problems Mocking or real data? JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, … Testing approaches Create database, clean database Local transactions

9. Unitils Solution Database maintainer Small test datasets with DbUnit @Transactional support Separate schema per developer Custom DataSource for more control

10. Database Maintenance Keep database schema in VCS Great versioning technique with incremental updates Ability to disable constraints

11. Database Maintenance Supports large number of databases Prepares sequences and identity columns Many options for database and data maintenance Generate XSD or DTD for DbUnit datasets

12. DbMaintain Project http://www.dbmaintain.org Separated from Unitils Can be used to automate deployment and upgrade procedure Version 2.3 in May 2011

13. DbMaintain Scripts Structure Incremental database updates Committed files are unchangeable Strict sequence Supports repeatable scripts, postprocessing

14. DbMaintain Scripts Structure Rename of scripts and folders is supported Multi-database and patches support Script information is stored in special table

15. DbMaintain Execution Ant <updateDatabasescriptLocations="${database.archive}"> <database driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" url="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:mydb" userName="admin" password="pwd" schemaNames="PUBLIC" /> </updateDatabase> Command line /path/to/dbmaintain/bin/dbmaintain.sh update path/to/scriptFolderOrArchive Java code URL configurationUrl = new File("dbmaintain.properties").toURI().toURL(); MainFactorymainFactory = new MainFactory(configurationUrl); DbMaintainerdbMaintainer = createDbMaintainer(); dbMaintainer.updateDatabase(false);

16. DbMaintain Commands createScriptArchive updateDatabase markErrorScriptPerformed markErrorScriptReverted markDatabaseAsUpToDate checkScriptUpdates clearDatabase cleanDatabase disableConstraints updateSequences

17. DbUnit Integration Small test datasets Only needed fields present XSD or DTD for XML datasets validation and autocompletion

18. DbUnit Integration Granular datasets on class or test level Flexible datasets naming policy Test and expected datasets Multiple datasets support

19. EasyMock Integration TestedObject concept Easy mocks creation with annotations Completely configurable mocks Extended set of parameter conditions Injection of mocks

20. Own Mocking Library

21. Own Mocking Library Can be used in parallel with EasyMock Mocking style like in Mockito Dummy objects Partial mocks

22. Spring Integration Context loading with caching Different types of Spring bean injection Ability to override beans by loading multiple contexts

23. Hibernate Integration Special test for mapping consistency Easy to create and inject SessionFactory

24. JPA Integration Supports Hibernate, Toplink, OpenJPA JpaEntityManagerFactory creates EntityManager for each test JPA utilities for injection and mapping validation

25. Assertion Utilities Reflection based Flexible comparison Ignore types of numbers and collections Ignore order in collections Ignore properties Able to compare only some properties

26. Assertion Utilities Supports object hierarchy Great differences reporting Lenient by default

28. Conditions must be set for all parameters in method when using EasyMock

29. EasyMock error reports are hard to understandMany bugs in bug tracker

30. Any questions?
