FitNesse + WATIJ = WitNesse(Or is it FATIJ) Paul Lamb Vik Anantha
Summary • Browser simulation vs Browser automation • (why we chose WATIJ) • Testing by programmers vs Testing by business analysts • (why we chose FitNesse) • The happy co-incidence • (putting them both together)
HttpUnit • com.meterware.httpunit.WebConversation simulates a browser. • maintains session context via cookies returned by the server. WebConversation wc = new WebConversation(); WebResponse resp = wc.getResponse("http://google.com" ); WebForm form = resp.getFormWithName("f"); form.setParameter("q", "httpunit"); resp = form.submit();
HttpUnit • Package com.meterware.httpunit.parsing contains classes to control HTML parsing. • Does it emulate the same type of parsing that IE Supports? • com.meterware.httpunit.scripting contains classes to evaluate javascript. • Does it evaluate javascript the way IE does? • “JavaScript support is very basic at present. The near-term goal is full JavaScript 1.1 support.”
WATIJ(Web Application Testing in Java) • watij.ie automates a browser • Creates new instance of IE or attaches to an instance IE ie = new IE(); ie.start("http://google.com"); ie.textField(name,"q").set("Watij"); ie.button("Google Search").click();
Other Browser Automation tools • WATIR (wtr.rubyforge.org) • Ruby based • SAMIE (samie.sourceforge.net) • Perl based • PAMIE (pamie.sourceforge.net) • Python • Selenium (www.openqa.org/selenium) • Is it really Browser automation?
FitNesse (Tests) • Tests are expressed as wiki tables of input data and expected output data • Written by non programmers
FitNesse (Fixtures) • Enables System Under Test to be testable by wiki table based tests. • Written by programmers public class Division extends ColumnFixture { public double numerator, denominator; public double quotient() { return numerator/denominator; } }
Sweet Spot • Lets non programmers write automated tests. • Allows tests to be written directly against the relevant business logic code. • Provides a modular structure for organizing test cases. • Fixtures provide a way of defining a testable “unit”.
WitNesse • Is a WATIJ Fixture for FitNesse • Allows WATIJ tests to be written with wiki tables.
