Up 
For the GlassFish Administration Console, we have quite a few tests (about 133 at last count). Given the nature and architecture of the application, we’ve chosen Selenium to drive our tests. One of the problems we’ve faced, though, is understanding why a test failed due to the length of time the tests take (roughly 1.5 [...]

Testing Android Applications with Maven, Android-x86 and VirtualBox
For a few months now, I’ve been working on a small application called Cub Tracker which is designed to help Cub Scout den and pack leaders track the progress of the scouts assigned them. I’m a big fan of testing, so I’ve done my best to follow TDD as I’ve worked on the app. Early [...]
Book Review: Real World Java EE Night Hacks – Dissecting the Business Tier
Last week, a great post by Adam Bien brought his latest book, Real World Java EE Night Hacks – Dissecting the Business Tier, to mind. I have since gotten myself a copy and thought I’d share my thoughts here.
Running a Single JUnit Test
Part of my job as a developer is writing unit tests. Lately, though, I’ve been spending more and more of my time in our tests, which take a long, long time to run. For example, to run the GlassFish Admin Console’s StandaloneTest class, the last run took 17 minutes and 36 seconds. Clearly, something needs [...]
Writing Selenium Tests for the GlassFish Admin Console
One of the results of the Oracle purchase of Sun has been an increased focus on testing — not that we didn’t test GlassFish before, but it was mostly manual in my area of the server. The task of automating this fell to me, and, after a little — ahem — testing, I settled on [...]
FacesTester 0.3 Has Been Released
After a lot of changes and a long delay, I’m pleased to announce that we have released FacesTester 0.3 tonight. This version has a large number of new features. Read on the for details.
FacesTester 0.2 Has Been Released
Today we released FacesTester 0.2. While this release has a number of bug fixes and more minor enhancements, one of the biggest new features is injection support.
FacesTester Can Now Test State Saving
In my experience, a pretty common bug with custom components is improper state saving. Since JSF components are, currently, stateful, it’s important that custom components integrate with the frameworks state saving mechanism correctly. Unfortunately, it can be an error-prone process, as it’s a manual effort. Now, however, custom component authors can use FacesTester to exercise [...]
FacesTester 0.1 Released
About a month ago, I announced a new project, FacesTester, a JUnit-based testing tool for JSF that my good friend Rod Coffin and I have undertaken. Since then, Rod posted a very nice introduction to FacesTester usage. Today, we made our first official release, FacesTester 0.1. The version number should indicate that it’s still a [...]
Announcing FacesTester
One of the issues that has always troubled me with regard to writing JSF applications (or any web application, really) is how hard it is to test them. Some time ago, while discussing various Java web frameworks, I stumbled across a class called WicketTester, which is part of the Wicket project. Using this class, as [...]
