Need to control test class execution

We are using TFS automated test agent to run our tests. We have multiple test classes that contain multiple test methods. We are using .vsmdi list files to run our tests. One thing we have noticed is that the TestMethods are randomly
chosen to run between each test class by the Test Agent. This is causing a problem with our tests that have [ClassInitialize] attributes. The [ClassInitialize] is only run once when the first test in the class is run, however if the Test Agent
then selects a method from a different class to run and then returns to a TestMethod in the first test class, the [ClassInitialize] is not run because it was already done for the class instance.
Is there any way that we can configure our tests so that when a TestMethod in a class is run that the test agent does not jump to another test class until all the TestMethods in the class have been executed? I don't really care about the
order in which the test methods are run, but I want all of the methods in a class to run before the test agent moves on to the next test class.

Hi Ken Varn,
As far as I know, it is hard for us to really control the test methods' execution between different class no matter locally or remotely.
Generally we use the ordered test to control the order.
Some features like the Test Category or Test playlist, they are used for group tests, but I think it is not the solution you want to get.
Maybe you could submit a user voice here:

Problem in taking the control of my application in the test class

Hi,
I am calling an application(Login) from the test class. This test class tests for blank fields entered for the login application.
Once i get the login screen, my program is getting hanged, i mean its not executing the test case unless i press the cancel button in that login screen. Only when i press the cancel button,my test case is executing in the background & is successful.
Can anyone tell me why is this happening & is there a better way to handle this situation.
Thanks & Regards,

Need help with testing a package with Junit

Hi guys,
I am currently testing a bunch of files under a particular package. I have compiled all the files in this package successfully. I have written a testcase file which is in the folder above the package folder. I am using Junit to test this. I am getting errors stating that Java cannot find the package.
To explain in detail.....My package name is coinbox which contain some classes which need to be tested. These files are in the folder "coinbox". My testcase file is in the folder which is directly above this folder. My testcase file has the statement import coinbox.* which will import all the classes in the coinbox package;
But I am getting an error stating that the package coinbox cannot be found. I tried adding the package path to the CLASSPATH variable but still it isnt working.
The command am using to run the Junit test cases is as follows:
javac -cp junit.jar;junit.samples.CoinBoxTest-d CoinBoxTest.java
Any help or suggestions regarding will be appreciated. The coinbox package is not being detected by java.
Thanks in advance.

It smells like a classpath problem. Post a sample of the code you are testing, the package statement in particular and the directory structure where the .class files are.

Transport of ABAP Unit Test Classes between systems.

Hi guys
I have a bit of a dilemma on hands here pertaining to the transport of ABAP Unit test classes. Generally when you create a transport containing classes the transport manager will automatically include all "programs" related to the class like the local type definitions, local implementations and with ABAP Unit the local test classes.
The question that I have is how would one go about excluding the ABAP Unit test classes in transports to production systems and pre-WAS 6.40 systems that do not support ABAP Unit? Does the transport system automatically manage this for you? Any help ideas regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Ettienne Hugo

Hello Ettienne
I have a very similar problem that I have to maintain objects for release 6.20 and 6.40. Since I appreciate ABAP Unit Tests as being very helpful I do not want to miss them even in such a situation.
My approach is as following:
- If possible, I try to separate the local classes from the tested object, for example:
- Report or function group
- contains an include like <z_include_ft01>
- Within <z_include_ft01> I have a single stament <z_include_au01>
The actual ABAP Unit Tests are coded in <z_include_au01>. Now if I need to ship the development to a release < 6.40 the only thing I need to do is to comment the single INCLUDE statement in <z_include_ft01>. This manual step cannot be ommitted (however, it would be simple task to define an eCATT doing this). In addition, include <z_include_au01> should not be in the transport request for the development (if it happened the import error would not affect the function of the development because it is no longer linked together).
Advantage of this approach:
- I clearly see that my development contains ABAP Unit Tests (use naming conventions for the includes) and
- I can ship - with little effort - the development to SAP releases not supporting ABAP Unit Testing yet

How to make a Abap Unit Test Suit with many test classes

Hi,
Problem space
we have different packages(embedded) in our project and each package corresponds to a differnt functional layer in the design.
We want to create abab unit test classes for these different layers.
say embedded package 1 has 10 unit test classses
embedded package 1 has 20 unit test classses
How to grup these classes together so that we can start them frm a test suite.
Code examples and blogs links will be appreciated.
regards
anubhav

This sounds a bit like Project Administration 101 to me.
I'm not exactly sure what you are actually trying to do here --but generally if you want to functionally test something you need to start with a business process -
You need to create scripts which tell the user the data to be entered, the transaction to be used and the outcome.
With SAP you might need to show screen shots of each stage as well.
You follow this for each complete business process until you've covered the whole business cycle.
You complete this say individually for Logistics, Purchasing and Finance and then compare what SAP gives you with what you expected to get.
For some type of testing CATTS can help but without the business processes any testing is essentially meaningless.
It is totally pointless trying to design a "generic" test plan until you've got the functional consultants to describe the business processes involved.

Java test class

Hello,
have a problem with writing test class in Java for Chat testing.
So, I need to simulate 1000 Users who connected to chat server(PHP).
If I understand, i have to make one thread for each user and send request to the chat server, say for each message I give 10 sec.
Any suggestions?
Thx a lot.
PS: Jnewbe.

Not to disagree with Noviato's suggestions, which are all excellent pointers, but I do want to point out that what you are trying to do is a 'hard problem'. To really load test a system, you normally need to buy commercial software. The problem is that spinning off threads (all of the same priority, and especially a thousand of them) will almost certainly lead to starvation. The commercial programs go through a lot of hoops to create dedicated processes (instead of threads) and ensure the operating system executes them properly.

ABAP unit: test classes part of prod. code

Hi all,
I've read <a href="https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/u/266">Thomas Weiss</a>'s weblog: <a href="/people/thomas.weiss/blog/2004/12/17/a-spotlight-on-abap-unit-part-1 Spotlight on ABAP Unit Part 1</a>.
I posted a question there, but apparently Thomas can't answer at the moment, and since I'm impatient for getting someone's opinion, I reckon we can discuss that topic here :^)
As explained in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c1be1003-0701-0010-3795-f87160de6483">NetWeaver Developers Guide Using ABAP</a>, the test classes are part of the program under test (PUT):
In ABAP Unit, test classes are part of the production code of the TU. This avoids problems arising from the test code being separate from the production code:
- Programs and tests must be kept synchronized.
- You have to ensure that the test and program code are transported together.
- External test code only enables black box tests with an outside perspective of the tested program.
Since the test code is part of the production code, it is easy to keep the unit tests and the
production code up to date if the latter is changed.
Although the test code and the production code are transported through the system landscape, ABAP unit tests do not increase the load on the production system. By default, the test code is not compiled in the production system. Therefore, the test code can never be executed in the production system.
On the other hand, this idea is quite different from what suggested by other unit testing frameworks.
For instance, the documentation of <a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/classes/Test/Unit.html">Test::Unit - Ruby Unit Testing Framework</a> reads:
Its handy to collect a bunch of related tests, each test represented by a method, into a common test class that knows how to run them.
The tests will be in a separate class from the code theyre testing for a couple of reasons. First of all, it allows your code to stay uncluttered with test code, making it easier to maintain. Second, it allows the tests to be stripped out for deployment, since theyre really there for you, the developer, and your users dont need them. Third, and most importantly, it allows you to set up a common test fixture for your tests to run against.
Regarding the advantages outlined by NetWeaver Developers Guide:
- Programs and tests might be kept synchronized even if they don't belong to the same unit of code.
- Moreover, you could assure that the test and program code are transported together by saving them in the same package.
- And quite frankly, I don't have a thourough understanding of the reason why external tests only allow black box tests with an outside perspective.
What are your opinions on this?
Regards, Davide

Hi,
when I started unit testing with JUnit I was quite surprised that SAP groups the tests with the production code. But now I actually really like it. It has a few advantages:
- Good tests serve as an excellent documentation so why not bundling them together.
- If you want to look at the tests they are easy to find.
- I write all my class tests as local classes. I found out that it really helps me to focus on writing tests only for the class under test. Sometimes it is quite easy to forget the "unit" and write integration tests again.
Regarding your question:
>And quite frankly, I don't have a thourough understanding of the reason why external tests only allow black box tests with an outside perspective.
Usually I would not use the term black box testing in this context. Maybe you mean that it is easy to access private attributes, methods when you group class and testclass together?
Normally black box testing means that you cannot look at the implementation of the code under test. So your tests are based on the specifications or if there is not one, on your common sense.
cheers

How to exit from the class execution process?

I am invoking an exe from my Java application using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec() method.
though the process is completed, the class is still running.
how do i exit from the class execution, but with the process still running??

To sabre150 :
I am directly executing the command through the exec() method:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("...../iexplore.exe");This way, the control is going to the opened IE window and only on closing it, my class is exiting.
Is there any other way where I can come out of the class, but ensure that the process which i run through the exec() method, is still running?

How to create test classes with JUnit?

Hello,
I need to test my classes with JUnit. My editor is BlueJ.
This is my class:
package model;
import java.util.*;
public class Category
 private String name;
 private List<Appointment> appointments;
 private List<ToDo> toDos;
 public Category(String name)
 this.name = name;
 appointments = new ArrayList<Appointment>();
 toDos = new ArrayList<ToDo>();
 public String getName()
 return this.name;
 public void setName(String newName)
 this.name = newName;
 public void addAppointment(Appointment a)
 appointments.add(a);
 public void removeAppointment(Appointment a)
 appointments.remove(a);
 public void addToDo(ToDo t)
 toDos.add(t);
 public void removeToDo(ToDo t)
 toDos.remove(t);
 public List<Appointment> getAppointments()
 return appointments;
 public List<ToDo> getToDos()
 return toDos;
}This is my JUnit test class code so far:
package model;
import java.util.*;
* The test class CategoryTest.
* @author (your name)
* @version (a version number or a date)
public class CategoryTest extends junit.framework.TestCase

 public void testGetAndSetName()
 assertTrue(cat.getName().equals("Kategori"));
 cat.setName("Kategori 2");

Thanks in advance,
JonasSo this is where TDD kicks in. Your mission - should you choose to become test-infected - is to write tests that fail, preferably even don't compile, and then write the code that makes them pass. Compilation is no guarantee the thing will work. In all honesty, that test is probably too busy. Ideally, each test case has exactly one assert in it. That way, you can know instantly what's gone wrong. If you reply "but my code can't be tested like that" it's probably time to refactor it so that it can

This is happening to all my test script files. I can load the test script files, edit the test cases, etc, but cannot execute the test scripts
If I click on View Test Script Specification, they all come up, and the report shows all the cases in the test script.
If I look into the directory, they are all there, with the .tsc extension and a file type of TSC
I created a new TSC this morning, but with the same results
They were working yesterday. Since then, I did rename one of the test scripts, and changed my build platform from .NET to Java.
Any thoughts?

Hey Allan,
It looks like it either can't find the Java component it needs to run or the test script for some reason. If you look in the bin directory of the OPM install (which is normally something like c:\program files\Oracle\Policy Modeling\bin) do you see a file called determinations-remote-clr.jar? If not it sounds like something's gone wrong with your install.
If so, can you run the test script in the standalone debugger? Also, if you look at the absolute path of your test script file, does it contain any non-ascii characters? If so, try removing those characters and see if it works.
Thanks,
Kristy

-- "non-static X cannot be referenced from a static context" --
You get this error because static members don't require an instance of the object to be accessed; they belong to the class. But a non-static member belongs to an instance (an individual object). There's no way for the static method to know which instance's variable to use or method to call, and thus, the compiler happily tells you that you can't access an instance member (non-static) from a class context (static).

Need Help controlling the time my program stays connected to a network

Hi,
Every time I open a Thread to listen to client connections, ou to send data to a server, i need to control how long the other side takes to respond.
This is to fulfill two objectives:
1) if the client or the server takes to long to respond the connection is terminated.
2) if, for example, 30 seconds have passed, the server could send a packet with information that tells the client to wait a little more.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
