I've only recently started looking through the iDempiere projects and have noticed a curious absence of JUnit tests/suites in most of the projects. Am I overlooking something or are these simply not included in the code pushed to bitbucket? My search for JUnit in this forum yielded three unrelated posts.

Hi Karl,

As far as i know JUnit is not used in the core and we are not using a test driven development approach although there is integration with selenium for UI testing.

What is your background and what are your interests. There are many interesting improvements you could contribute to.

Hi Karl,
For ERP, we have a more functional and enterprise approach to testing. Perhaps this project documentation can help illustrate. http://red1.org/adempiere/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=1777
It has a steep but short learning curve to set up (if you are willing to read all the links), but very powerful in its usage.
If need be, please do ask further and i will keep track of this googlegroup thread. (No need to ask at that project link as I can back link here from there to keep it as a reference material).

Recommendations regarding testing in iDempiere from experience?

I see in Red1's post above, he recommends using Fitnesse. I don't have any experience with this kind of testing. Is it better than JUnit testing?

Someone else mentioned JMeter.

I see there are example tests in the org.adempiere.extend plugin.

If anyone wouldn't mind sharing their experience, it would be appreciated.

Hi Neil,

please have a look at the transcript of last years workshop

http://wiki.idempiere.org/en/IDempiere_workshop_2015/transcript#Third_day_-_Wednesday

There is a section on experience with testing using different aproaches. HTH

Many thanks for the link, there is some useful information there.

Do you have any experience to add?

Hi Neil
FitNesse is very powerful and easy once mastered, particularly when you use The Recorder: see page 16 of http://red1.org/iDempiereFitNesse.pdf.
If you any difficulty in any part, just contact me via our usual Skype I be happy to help you along. :)

Hi Red1,

Your document looks great! I will study it in more detail, and speak to you if I have questions, or give feedback here.

Something worthwhile adding:-

One thing that wasn't clear from the transcript, is that there are reports of people using JMeter not just for load testing, but to test iDempiere from the front end.
