Adding tests

• Introduction to unit testing

The steps required to add unit tests for a plugin are:

• Create a new Fragment Project

  • File > New > Project… > Plug-in Development > Fragment Project

  • Set the project name to <the full name of the plug-in to test\>.tests

  • Change the location to the repository rather than the workspace: ibex_gui\base\<project_name> (don’t forget the project name!)

  • Click “Next”

  • Make sure the Execution Environment points at the correct version of Java

  • Click the “Browse” button next to “Plug-in ID”

  • Select the plug-in to test and click “OK”

  • Finish

• In the newly created plug-in, add a new Package with the same name or structure as the plug-in.

  • Select the plug-in

  • File > New > Package

  • Enter the name and click “Finish”

• In the new Package create a class for adding test

  • Select the Package

  • File > New > Class

  • The class name must end with Test to be picked up by the automated build

• Add tests to the class

  • Add org.junit and org.mockito (if required) to the ‘Required Plug-ins’, under the Dependencies tab for the manifest (MANIFEST.MF)

• Add the test plug-in to the Maven build by following these steps

• Running the Maven build should now also run the tests
