Module Overview

Each software development process at some point comes to a stage of testing. There are many different ways to check whether an application or a module works as expected. The Test Execution Environment (TEE) is a test case execution environment used for automation and optimization of testing processes. The Test Execution Environment is a Java-based software system which contains a set of bundles allowing the execution of OSGi-aware test cases that test developed OSGi bundles. Typically, OSGi-aware test cases test provided services or exported packages of a given OSGi bundle and can follow different test models. The test environment is responsible for the installation of the OSGi-aware test cases and their execution. Moreover, the TEE generates user-friendly reports with the results of test case execution. The Test Execution Environment is designed for OSGi frameworks implementing the OSGi Service Platform Core Specification, Release 5 and running on JVMs compliant with Java 8 compact 1. The Test Execution Environment (TEE) supports several popular test case models.

Feature Set

The Test Execution Environment (TEE) module provides the following features and functionalities:

Test case management – console interface for accessing the test case environment functionality. You can list test cases or test projects, execute a separate test case or test project, specify external test case configurations, etc.
Support of test projects – grouping test cases in test projects eliminates the need to execute manually test cases one-by-one. The test cases grouped in such projects are executed all at once according to preliminary defined conditions. A test project might be defined to contain test cases meeting a concrete criterion: e.g. test cases delivered by the OSGi Alliance, or specifically developed for the SDK, etc.
Automated testing – an automatic project execution is provided. Projects that should be executed automatically are defined with a system property. The TEE supports a default test project, which is executed upon OSGi framework startup.
Different modes of execution – a test case or project can be executed one or multiple times.
Test configuration – support for definition of test case configuration for configuring the OSGi environment for the correct execution of specific test case.
Different test models – TEE supports the execution of test cases provided by the OSGi Alliance as well as tests developed for the SDK. In addition, custom test models can be introduced to the TEE.
Result summary – Reports with the generated results of test case execution are available. The reports may be generated in XML format, for further import into Eclipse JUnit view.

Known Issues & Limitations

None.
