418N/AHere is a simple recipe to add a new asadmin command test to this test suite.

605N/APlease let me know if you like it. Adding a new test should not take

761N/Amore than 2 minutes, if you know what to test.

418N/A

418N/A0- This suite is meant *exclusively* for asadmin tests. It uses TestNG.

418N/A1- Extend BaseAsAdminTest which has got bunch of utility routines.

418N/A The design of this tests is done with this in mind. You have to

418N/A extend BaseAsAdminTest. Don't reinvent the wheel.

418N/A2- Start with *CAREFUL* copy + paste.

418N/A3- Look at any of the existing subclasses of BaseAsadminTest. Add

418N/A the command of your choice and annotate it with @Test.

418N/A Most of the time what you want is the "Manifest" object from an

418N/A asadmin command invocation. Utilities are provided for the same.

418N/A4- Add the command class in ../testng.xml.

418N/A5- That's it.

418N/ALimitations:

418N/A1- Does not use Maven. (That is not a real limitation :))

418N/A Pom.xml is provided only for IDE. It's imperative that

418N/A you use IDE. Just point NetBeans to this pom.xml and your test development

418N/A will be easier. Pom.xml is not used for building.

418N/A2- As of now, tests can't be run from this folder. You have to run them from

418N/A the parent folder (../)

418N/A3- Assumes a standard setup (default domain.xml etc.).

418N/A4- If the suite fails then you'll need to modify domain.xml by hand before

418N/A re-running it.

418N/A

418N/ANote:

418N/A1- ../testng.xml

418N/A <parameter name="admin.url" value="http://localhost:4848/__asadmin"/>

418N/A <parameter name="admin.user" value="admin"/>

418N/A <parameter name="admin.password" value=""/>

493N/A are the real parameters available to every test. You don't have to worry

418N/A about this.

418N/A

857N/ATBD:

418N/A1- Make the suite runnable with a domain that has password protection.
