test framework for XForms

Hi All,

I like to develop XForms under orbeon in a test driven development way. I know there is now a test framework for XPL, but is there also something for XForms?

If not could I use javascript intregration (Xforms reference chapter 11) to submit a XForms page ?

(If I can submit and setvalue using javascript I should be able te develop a test framework)

Thanks in advance,

Pepijn

Hi Pepijn,

We don't have a test framework for client-side XForms, or client-side
JavaScript in general. This is something we would like to in the
future, so let us know if you have any suggestion, any library out
there that you have successfully used, or any code you can contribute
to the project.

Re: Re: test framework for XForms

Good Morning All,

I wanted to hook in here because I am looking for a testing framework myself.

In the past I have tested JSP's with Cargo/Canoo - but we don't have JSP's here and I am not sure if Cargo/Canoo do work or not (haven't had time to try it).

With interest I am also monitoring the progress on the 1040 project.

So here is my question: How can I test an Orbeon application?
I would like to fill XForm fields in a scripted fashion, execute a submission, retrieve the server's response and parse the received html for expected field values.

How do you test your Orbeon applications?

Thank you,
Olaf

Re: Re: test framework for XForms

If you guys are using Firefox, you might want to check out the
Selenium Recorder[1] extension. I've only used it a very little bit,
but you might want to check it out if you're looking for a way to
emulate user interaction.

I know this isn't quite what you're looking for, but it may help you a
little bit.

Selenium recorder has evolved into Selenium IDE. Thank you Daniel for the link!

http://www.openqa.org/selenium-ide/

TestGen4Web is similar to Selenium IDE, but I haven't found a way to
check for things other than the page title, which might be good enough
when each click loads a new page, but doesn't do the trick when it
comes to Ajax UIs like the one you get when using XForms in
PresentationServer. It's maybe just that I haven't spent enough time
exploring TestGen4Web.

If anyone gets a chance to try Selenium, TestGen4Web, or another
similar tool, please share your experience here.

Thanks for the answers.

Selenium looks nice, although I have to spent some more time to be sure.

When I have something working I will report back :)
