Unit testing PL/SQL used in APEX application

question from my customer :
I am developing an application in Oracle Application Express and am working on unit tests for the PL/SQL stored procedures and packages that are stored in the underlying database and that are used by the APEX application. These unit tests should run within the SQL Developer Unit Test framework.
The problem is that some of the PL/SQL code stored in the database uses functions like NV('APPLICATION_ITEM') to access items in the apex application. These do not return any values when I try to execute the PL/SQL within the unit test framework, ie through the backend. While it is good that the NV function does not error, NULL do not really work well in my scenario either (for example when the result of this functions is inserted into a NOT NULL column of a table). I can think of a few workarounds, such as creating my own NV function inside the test schema to return desirable values, but nothing seems a really satisfactory solution. I just wonder if there is any best practice recommendation from Oracle for this scenario - how can I run code that uses APEX-specific functions through the back end. I could not find anything in the APEX documentation for this but I'd be interesting to know if there is any recommendation how to best deal with this case.
I am using SQL Developer version 4.0.0.13.80

Your PL/SQL Package APIs are poorly designed.
You need to take Tom Kyte's quote to heart:
"Application come and application go, but data remains forever"
In short, you need to separate your database processing code (the stuff you need to unit test) from front-end/middle tier code.
(repetitiveness is for effect.. not rudeness.)
As such, The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in APEX.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in .NET.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in JSP.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in Jive.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in Ruby.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in Perl::CGI.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in P9.
The PL/SQL code that you need to 'UNIT TEST' must work without needing to run in <place latest and greatest thing here>.
Again, I don't mean to sound rude. I'm just trying to reinforce the idea that you need to separate database code from middle-tier/front-end stuff.
Basically, you will need to separate all of your packages into multiple parts.
a _CORE package (that will be unit tested) that does all the hard work
an _APEX package for APEX infrastructure (this works with NV()/V(), etc.)
a _NET package for .NET infrastructure when you need it
a _JSP package for the JSP infrastructure when you need it
a _JIVE package for the JIVE infrastructure when you need it
a _<place latest and greatest thing here> for the <place latest and greatest thing here> when you need it.

Hi Kostya,
Any chance you can elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to do? By definition, you cannot run an APEX application, outside of APEX, but it is only HTML and Javascript at the end of the day, with some clever logic behind it. No reason why you couldn't create your own HTML pages that perform similar tasks.
Hope this helps,

Unit Test in SQL Developer 2.1: Automated Builds

Hi,
I am interested to know if the new Unit Testing framework can be accessed via API so the test execution is initiated from automated build process.
Regards,
Vadim

I am having a problem with the unit testing command line.
I am attempting to run the unit testing using the command line interface.
I can connect to UNIT_TEST_REPOS schema in SQL developer.
I am successfully running units test and suites in SQL developer.
UNIT_TEST_REPOS, RCSV1 and DEVER users are granted on the UT_REPO_USER role and UNIT_TEST_REPOS and DEVER on the UT_REPO_ADMINISTRATOR.
The following commands result in an error box saying "No Repository was found on the selected connection, you need to create a repository." (The HELP button apparently does nothing. The OK button closes the box.)
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>UtUtil -exp -test -name RCSV1_RCS_SECURITY.GET_LDAP_BASE -repo unit_test_repos -file c:\ut_xml\test.xml
Unable to open repository
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>UtUtil -run -test -name RCSV1_RCS_SECURITY.GET_LDAP_BASE -repo unit_test_repos -db dever
Unable to open repository
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>UtUtil -run -test -name RCSV1_RCS_SECURITY.GET_LDAP_BASE -repo dever -db dever
Unable to open repository
I would guess that I am not supplying the correct connection info.
My last comment triggered an idea. It turns out that the connection names required are those connections named in SQL developer. In my case, they are not the same as the schema names. The following command worked as advertised.
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>UtUtil -run -test -name RCSV1_RCS_SECURITY.GET_LDAP_BASE -repo UNIT_TEST -db DeverLocal
The ANT target is
<target name="UnitTests">
<exec executable="cmd" dir="${sqldev.bin.dir}">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="UtUtil -run -suite -name RCSV1 -repo UNIT_TEST -db DeverLocal"/>
</exec>
</target>

How to unit test pl/sql collection in the unit test ?

There is a function SPLIT_LIST (see below) to split a string list to a collection type .
I'm trying to use the SQLP DEVELOPER to do the unit test on this fucntion. The idea is to use lookups to give multiple string list for different inputs such as 'A,B,C' 'D', '', 'EF,,GH'. for multiple tests a time.
the expected result (function returns) are SPLIT_TBL('A','B',C'), SPLIT_TBL('D'), SPLIT_TBL(), SPLIT_TBL('EF','','GH')
But I have problem to use unit test to verify the result based on the lookups as the out put is the collection. anyone has a good idea to do those ?
create or replace TYPE SPLIT_TBL AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32767) ;
create or replace
FUNCTION SPLIT_LIST (
P_LIST VARCHAR2,
P_DEL VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ' ' )
RETURN SPLIT_TBL PIPELINED DETERMINISTIC
IS
lv_idx PLS_INTEGER;
lv_list VARCHAR2(32767) := P_LIST;
lv_value VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
LOOP
lv_idx := instr(lv_list,p_del);
IF lv_idx > 0 THEN
PIPE ROW(SUBSTR(lv_list,1,lv_idx-1));
lv_list := SUBSTR(lv_list,lv_idx+LENGTH(p_del));
ELSE
PIPE ROW(lv_list);
EXIT;
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
/

I'm having a similar problem - have you solved yours yet?
As for me, when I return a collection as an output parameter from a procedure, I can't test the result.
Example: I'm testing a procedure defined like this: Procedure check_this (p_id number, p_result out CompResult)
where CompResult is defined as: create or replace type CompResult is varray(100) of CompObj;
Unit Test understands that the data type of out parameter p_result is CompResult.
It fills in schemaName.CompResult() as the result (empty varray).
Editing of the result does not appear to be allowed - it's read only.
So, when the proc returns a varray that isn't empty, the test fails.

Certificates for use with APEX applications

I'm running oracle enterprise edition 9.2.0.7 with HTTP server for my APEX applications. When users access my application via https://, they receive the default oracle certificate warning. Can I use the wallet manager (owm) to create my own or to create a trusted certificate, or do you need to purchase Advanced Security option to use it "legally"?

hey guys the above issue was resolved. now i have following error.
1- anyconnect popup with WARNING MESSAGE: Warning: "The following Certificate received from the Server could not be verified: "
2- on asa i can see following debug messages.
CRYPTO_PKI: Sorted chain size is: 1

Unit test for J2EE application

I am writting a Unit test for One J2EE application. The Application is built in such a way that makes unit testing extremely difficult.
There are 2 things that contribute to the mess.
1. Sping integration means all the config files are specified in web.xml independently, even though their beans rely on each other across files. End result is in a unit, I cannot try to load a bean because some of its dependencies are missing (ie. they are in a config file that the first file does not include). For this I tried to use AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests class to set the Spring Application Context when you are not in the flow but didn't success ed.If any one has use this please post the example.
2. The application is using Errors interface of package org.springframework.validation. To write a test for any validator class you have to pass the object of Error in the validate method with the command object. Now my question is how you can set this Error object when you are not in the flow. For this I tried to use Mock object e.g Errors error;
Mockery context = new Mockery();
final Errors errorMock =context.mock(Errors.class);
//call the validate object with mock object
classObject.doValidate(cmdObject, errorMock)
This thing doesn't work. It gives me below error message.
unexpected invocation: errors.pushNestedPath("")
no expectations specified: did you...
- forget to start an expectation with a cardinality clause?
- call a mocked method to specify the parameter of an expectation?
Is there any way to get around these hiccups programmatically in unit tests?
thanks...

If you are doing unit testing, try to use straight JUnit4 without involving the Spring framework. Given that you do unit testing, you might not need Spring configuration in your unit test at all. You can programmatically instantiate the instance of the class under testing and either programmatically instantiate collaborating objects, or create mock objects for that purpose. If you are doing functional testing, you might need a Spring context after all. Understand that your tests are running in the different context than the complete application, so you would have to create separate application context for your test(s). You might have to go through the existing Spring configuration modules that you created for your application and re-jiggle them a bit so that they can be included both in your application context and your unit test context.
Hope this helps.

Unit Testing

Hi All,
I would like to inform to all, can any one explain to me the concept of Unit testing in FICO and how it should be drawn? If possible send any dcoumentation for this focus to my mail id: [email protected]
Thanks with regards,
Bala

Hi
refer below reward if helps
Unit testing is done in bit and pieces. Like e.g. in SD standard order cycle; we do have 1-create order, then 2-delivery, then 3-transfer order, then 4-PGI and then 5-Invoice. So we will be testing 1,2,3,4 and 5 seperately alone one by one using test cases and test data. We will not be looking and checking/testing any integration between order and delivery; delivery and TO; TO and PGI and then invoice.
Whrereas System testing you will be testing the full cycle with it's integration, and you will be testing using test cases which give a full cyclic test from order to invoice.
Security testing you will be testing different roles and functionalities and will check and signoff.
Performance testing is refered to as how much time / second will take to perform some actions, like e.g. PGI. If BPP defination says 5 seconds for PGI then it should be 5 and not 6 second. Usually it is done using software.
Regression testing is reffered to a test which verfies that some new configuration doesnot adversly impact existing functionality. This will be done on each phase of testing.
User Acceptance Testing: Refers to Customer testing. The UAT will be performed through the execution of predefined business scenarios, which combine various business processes. The user test model is comprised of a sub-set of system integration test cases.
We use different software during testing. Most commonly use are
Test Director: which is used to record requirement, preparing test plan and then recording the progress. We will be incorporating defects that are coming during these testings using different test cases.
Mercury Load Runner: is used for performance testing. This is an automatic tool.
What does the following terms means :
- Technical Unit Testing
- Functional Unit Testing
- IntegrationTesting
- Volume Testing
- Parallel Testing?
Technical Unit Testing= Test of some technical development such as a user exit, custom program, or interface. the test usually consists of a test data set that is processed according to the new program. A successful test only proves the developed code works and that it performed the process as as designed.
Functional Unit Testing= Test of configuration, system settings or a custom development (it may follow the technical unit testing) These usually use actual data or data that is masked but essentially the same as a real data set. A successful test shows that the development or configuration works as designed and the data is accurate as a result.
IntegrationTesting= Testing a process, development or configuration within the context of any other functions that the process, development or functionality will touch or integrate . The test should examine all data involved across all modules and any data indirectly affected. A successful test indicates that the processes work as designed and integrate with other functions without causing any problems in any integrated areas.
Volume Testing= testing a full data set that is either actual or masked to insure that the entire volume does cause system problems such as network transmission problems, system resources issues, or any systemic problem, A successful test indicates that the processes will not slow or crash the system due to a full data set being utilized.
Parallel Testing= Testing the new system or processes with a complete data set while running the same processes in the legacy system. A successful test will show identical results when both the legacy system and new system results are compared.
I would also note that when a new implementation is being done you will want to conduct at least one cut over test from the old system to the new and you should probably do several.
What kind of testings that are carried out in testing server?
1. Individual Testing ( Individually which we've created)
2. Regressive Testing ( Entire Process)
3. Integration Testing ( Along with other integrated modules)
The 3 types of testing is as follows:-
1. Unit testing (where an individual process relevant to a SD or MM etc is tested)
2. Integration testing (where a process is tested that cuts across all areas of SAP).
3. Stress testing (where lots of transactions are run to see if the system can handle the data)
http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/6D1236712F84462F941FDE131A66126C.htm
Unit test issues
The unit tools test all SAP development work that handles business object processing for the connector. Also, the unit test tools enable you to test the interaction of your work with the ABAP components of the connector. The test tools allow you to test your development work as an online user (real-time) only.
Note:
It is important to understand the differences between testing the connector as an online user and testing the connector as if operating as a background user.
The differences between testing the connector as an online user or as a background user are described as follows:
Memory--When testing a business object, the connector must log into the SAP application.
      The connector runs as a background user, so it processes in a single memory space that is never implicitly refreshed until the connector is stopped and then restarted (therefore it is critical in business object development to clear memory after processing is complete). Since you are an online user, memory is typically refreshed after each transaction you execute.
      For more information, see Developing business objects for the ABAP Extension Module. Any problems that may occur because of this (for example, return codes never being initialized) are not detected using the test tool; only testing with the connector will reveal these issues.
Screen flow behavior--Screen flow behavior is relevant only when using the Call Transaction API. The precise screen and sequence of screens that a user interacts with is usually determined at runtime by the transaction's code. For example, if a user chooses to extend a material master record to include a sales view by checking the Sales view check box, SAP queries the user for the specific Sales Organization information by presenting an additional input field. In this way, the transaction source code at runtime determines the specific screen and its requirements based on the data input by the user. While the test tool does handle this type of test scenario, there is a related scenario that the test tool cannot handle.
      SAP's transaction code may present different screens to online users versus background users (usually for usability versus performance). The test tool only operates as an online user. The connector only operates as a background user. Despite this difference, unit testing should get through most of the testing situations.

Better UI for Unit Tests

I've been doing a lot of unit tests lately. Right now I'm working on a code converter Air app and I'm constantly creating unit tests for bugs I'm finding and running them, and debugging them when they don't work. When I debug, it's easiest to isolate the runner to run only one test. I know I can do that by editing the source file and typing in the test name in the core.run call. However, I can't help by think a better UI is needed for doing this form for TestDriven Development.
Basically, what I think would be perfect, is to have the UI, not run the tests initially. It should provide you with a list of tests with checkboxes. Then give you the opportunity to select which ones you want to run, and then run them. It should also have the ability to re-run a test. I realize that for any code changes to take affect you would need to re-run the entire app, but a lot of times, I find myself running the same test over and over and stepping through the code with the debugger in order to figure out what's going on. Then I eventually change the code.
Also, the new UI should persist the last set of selected tests, and maybe have a way to store previous selections. That would make it perfect for how I use it.
Does anyone agree or disagree with this? Has someone done this already?
BTW, the reason I'm using the stand alone runner and not the one in Flash Builder 4 is because I've run into some bugs with the FlexUnit shipped with Flash Builder 4 and there doesn't seem to be a way to get the latest FlexUnit 4.1 to work properly with Flash Builder 4. There seems to be a way to do it with Flash Builder 4.5, but I don't have that version.
Thanks,
Mark

How to bee able to use the anchor functionality as is used in APEX develop

Hi
First of all APEX is great !
I have been using APEX to do some small applications in Norway. Now i am in a position to make a sales presentation for Norwegian Civil Aviation authority department. I hope we winn the contract and then we are going to use APEX for building the system.
I need to bee able to navigate between many regions on an effective way. We would have the pages with 3-8 regions on each page and it would bee very suitable do have the functionality which is used in APEX Application builder where it is possible to show all regions on the page and then bee able to scroll through all regions on the page.
But also bee able to user #ANCHOR_NAME at the end of the URL and then just switch to one of the regions (show just one region on the page).
I have made a test page with use of #ANCHOR_NAME and this is ok, but i don't know how to just hide all other regions when you navigate to the anchor name. In application builder it is very nice when you navigate between regions and when you hit the "Show All" link, all regions is displayed on the same page.
I also need to have each region the same size in width as in Application Builder, and the theme used in Application builder would also bee nice to used (in another color) is it possible to have a copy of the theme and make some adjustments to it ?.
I would bee very greatfull for any feed back about this subject. I am going to make a demonstration 19 Descember.
jon.

The Builder links you mention at the top of the Component Definition pages use markup like
< a href="#N" onclick="qF(this,'#N');return false;" ... >Name< /a >That "qF" function is a slick piece of Javascript. You can review it at http://htmldb.oracle.com/i/javascript/htmldb_html_elements.js. The DOM nodes that the function uses are specific to the Builder page template, but the code is fairly generic enough that you can adapt it to meet your needs. [Not sure what your comfort and experience level with Javascript is]
That function also saves the selected region/section in a client-side cookie so that it persists the next time you visit the page.
Hope this helps.
Carl: The following line in the "uR" function seems mighty strange!

Executing queries in another schema in an APEX application

Hello all,
I'm using Application Express 2.1.0.00.39 with Oracle Database Express.
Following this post (Re: Including a SQL GUI in APEX applications I made a page that executes users' queries. The user inputs his SQL statement in a textarea and submits the page, then a new region returning the query results is displayed. Actually I did hardly the same as Vikas did here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:228:4426360772935581::NO:::
However my needs are very specific: as there will be a lot of users and all users will have their own schema, I need to execute the queries a user inputs in his own schema and not the default parsing schema.
I looked around and found a few solutions.
First, GRANT. But I can't grant the default schema priviledges on all users' schema. It will permit everyone to work on all schemas and I don't want that. I want to force the parsing schema to be the same as the user authentified.
Next, I found that post: Re: how to connect to another user from a named pl/sql block. I tried the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE but it won't work with the CONNECT statement.
Finally I found that post: Change Parsing Schema dynamically? I tried to put the ALTER SESSION in a process. The success message appears, meaning the statement was executed successfully. But the query in input is still executed in the APEX default parsing schema. Then I tried to put the ALTER SESSION statement in the Report (which is a PL/SQL function body returning a SQL query), like that:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=:APP_USER';
RETURN v('P2_QRY_TEXT');
END;
It didn't work either.
What should be the best practice for my problem? Is there anyway to do what I want?
Thanks,

Re-thinking my solution:
Instead of having the package for each user, make 1 schema hold the package (whichever represents your system and not a user). Then declare the package to run as AUTHID CURRENT USER, which should make the calling schema's privileges be active. That way you avoid the hassle of having the manage 1 package for each user.
User Shema ===(SQL QUERY)==> Your System's Schema ==(QUERY) ===> Your Package w/ Authid Current User ==(Dynamic SQL Execution) ==> END
For your package, you might want to consider implementing/simulating variable argument lists, so that you can provide binds if necessary. You would just match up the binds within the query (using dbms_sql would be the only way, execute immediate does not give supporting query information) to the corresponding arguments.
I'm not sure what your goal is, but at least you have a direction to run in/at.

Best Practices for unit testing an Xlet?

I'd like to be able to unit test and Xlet using JUnit, but have been stumped by how this can be done correctly.
The first inclination is that I should mock the XletContext, but that seems to be getting out of control quickly.
Does anyone have any tips on this they can point me to?
Thanks.

Unit tests with ant (FB4 beta)?

Since flexunit is integrated with FB4, I was wondering how to run unit tests with ant on FB4 (using 3.4 sdk). In my current ant build file, the <mxmlc> and <compc> tags both work but the tag <flexunit> does not seem to work anymore (it worked on FB3 with flexunit download). So is there anyway currently to run unit tests on FB4 using ant?

Hi,
Let us take your requirements as separate two requriements.
1. Using the flexunit ant task - I think for this you needed a separate ant library to support this. So this may be missing in the ant available with FB. May be you can analyse this and add on your own and try out.
2. Debuggin the results.
Now FlexBuilder has the feature inbuilt as part of the IDE which provides more featuers like , source naviagation, rerunnig , saving results loading results etc.FlexBuilder uses its own set up to show the results details in IDE.
Currently other than using the feature in FB, there is no way to debug the results of the tests. However if you would like to get the tests to be run by ant task, and analyse the results, the following can be used.
Option 1 : Run outside FB, show and analyse results in FB
a. Use the FB, create some sample testCases in FB.
b. Use 'Execute FlexUnit tests' from the run, or debug launcher
c. Use the option Save configuration. This will get the configuration as xml or mxml file. You can use this file template and generate your test cases (may be you will configure your tests in a testSuite class and always use that as the input to the application, so that application syntax never changes). If you run the mxml created swf (whch you can do by the simple ant tasks which does not use the flexunit task ) out side FlexBuilder and if the FlexBuilder is open, you can still see the results in the FB and analyse the results. (You need the library which is used by the FB to use the classes. You can get the location of swc file by inspecting the library path of a project in which you have added the testCase or testSuite class using the FB IDE)
Option2:Run outside FB and Analyse the results in FB.
If you have the project for which you have run the tests, and you have the XML results of the run, you can still analyse the results in the FlexBuilder.
a. Ensure that the report is in the required syntax of FB. (we have tried to use the similar syntax as that of the JUnit resutl report)
b. Use FB, load your project, open the FlexUnit result view, use the open result option in the FB. This should load the XML in FB (we have only ensured to open the result files which were created using FB ,back in the result view. So if you are facing some issue in opening your XML, you can refer the required syntax by saving a sample run result from FB)
Option 3: Run and analyse the results in FB.
a. Have the input setup mentioned to FB. (If you would like to integrate changes, have a suite class which will take care of this and mention in the Execute FlexUnit tests to use this suite class. But there is no way to specify to run the FB commands outside FB.)
b. So whenever you would like to anlyse the tests, you need to run your test in FB and then analyse the results shown in result view.
Please let me know whether this is what you are looking for.
Thanks,

I am having trouble doing this. I have followed this document
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/htmldb_as_external_app.html
And when I click on the link I end up with a blank page.
Any advise?

Has anyone used an Apex application as an external application to Oracle Portal? If so what directions did you follow to make it work?

JUnit, where to put my unit test

Hi all,
I have a question regarding unit test.
I am working on a project which has multiple packages. I need to unit test every package using JUnit. One question I have is where to put my unit test. The options are:
1. Write unit test as a separate package. This makes the code clear but only the public functions get tested or I have to make all functions public.
2. Write unit test in the same package of the code to be tested. This makes writing test easier but putting test and code together makes the structure dirty.
Please let me know your opinion and tell me how do you normally do this?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Kevin

It sounds like you're probably a beginner, so this might be overkill, but here goes anyway: You might want to investigate Maven, which defines a standard directory structure that includes a test tree separate from the production tree, but yet still in the same overall folder. The beauty of this design is that you can keep both production & test code together in source control, IDE projects, etc. but they don't interfere with each other.
Even if you don't use Maven now, you might want to consider using their standard directory structure, as it is has stood the test of time, & would facilitate using Maven if you ever decide to in the future.
