Hi OFBiz Dev community,
I am associated with a nascent collaborative initiative called Kenfuse (http://www.kenfuse.com). The effort is towards getting more and more students and junior developers get a taste of open source early on and decide for themselves. As part of the initiative we are working with graduate schools and structuring electives to be delivered formally so that the participation has a sense of direction ie students look forward to good grades if they do a good job besides picking up good skills of course and for institutes to prepare students on contemporary technologies and improve placements etc. Feedback from project mentors would influence their grades ;-). Much like Google Summer of Code , but with faculty involvement and incentive is grade and not cash :-( Given that background, I am working with faculty from a top school in Bangalore, India, who are looking to offer a focused course on open source testing this term. The course is planned to contain two distinct sections a) classroom teaching introducing the subject and covering the fundamentals b) practical hands on projects where student ramp up on a specific assigned project architecture and functionality, required testing tools for automation and work with mentors to develop automation that can be contributed back. My note is towards this later component. Would like to explore projects on ofbiz testing and test automation that can be a good learning for students and also double as contributions back to the project. The term for students start in another week or so and expected to be a class of over 40 with about 8-10 open source project participating as mentor organization. Term ends by late Nov. Also here is a link that can provide some high-level overview of the process http://www.kenfuse.com/content/kencampus If there are specific questions or clarifications required, I would be more than happy to respond to them. - Sandy |
Sandy,
This is interesting. I have tried doing something similar institutions around our Indore (India) office. Ofbiz has its system for implementing unit tests. Recently Jira issue OFBIZ-2854 was created for unit test implementation. There are lots of other similar jira issues that have been defined and implemented in past. It will be nice if you can review these assets and let us know how we can help with your plan. 1) I (and few others from Hotwax Media) can help by reviewing the contribution and commit them to trunk when they are ready. 2) I know Sumit Pandit from our company is working on implementing list of Unit tests for accounting component. He can be creating Jira issues and students can provide implementations.

Thanks Anil. I checked the issue and think it would be great to have more such issues. However, since we are talking about students with little or no background, will it be useful to consolidate some links and examples on how tests have been implemented ? I can start by creating a project overview and share with students. Let me know what works best.

Sandy,
I've been working on a Selenium extension called SeleniumXML for ofbiz testing. I presented on it last year at the ApacheCon 2008 conference and will be presenting on it again at this year's ApacheCon 2009. We are trying to build up more example test cases for the ofbiz applications. Perhaps your students could work on that and I could help as a mentor. I'm in the process of creating some example tests for the ecommerce application. Those could be used as starting points and we could discuss other functional areas for testing. Selenium is a browser based test tool. We have been creating these types of test for automated functional testing rather than the standard unit tests. Here are some links that can give you more information on the subject. http://www.us.apachecon.com/c/acus2008/sessions/123 http://www.us.apachecon.com/presentation/materials/118/ApacheCon2008_SeleniumXml.pdf Brett On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 10:15 AM, SandyRay <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Hi OFBiz Dev community, > > I am associated with a nascent collaborative initiative called Kenfuse > (http://www.kenfuse.com).

Hi Brett,
This is perfect. We do have a few other projects looking to develop tests using Selenium and we should see some synergy there in terms of learning curve for students. As next steps I will go ahead and initiate the project with the links you shared and send you an invite to be the mentor. In parallel will work with the students group to pick the interested ones so that you get connected. - Sandy

Hi Brett,
we are also working on it. Did you see it is now in the core OFBiz system? Any updates for it? We are trying to iron out the problems and add some documentation.

Hans,
I notices the additions on my last svn update. I have a lot more updates to add. I'll compare with what is there and submit another patch.

Sandy,
You can find documentation available on internet for JUnit test case. They are written using JAVA (though we preferred to write them in simple method). They are based on very simple concept - JUnit test case helps us to test the service with pre-defined input and output parameters. -- Sumit Pandit On 24-Aug-09, at 11:59 PM, SandyRay wrote: > > Thanks Anil.
