IPF Test Framework
The IPF Test Framework is an extension of Icon’s Test Framework to provide out of the box steps and utility methods to support working with IPF based applications.
Getting Started
Dependencies
To get started using the ipf-test-fw, include the core dependency in your project.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.iconsolutions.ipf.core.test</groupId>
<artifactId>ipf-test-fw-application</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>Creating a Runner
The next thing you’ll need is a runner to execute your tests, to do this we simply extend the provided runner:
@SpringBootTest(classes = Application.class, webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT)
@Import({AllTestConfig.class})
public class FeatureTestRunner extends IPFFeatureTestRunner {}This allows you to extend the runner as needed. One common extension is to override the default threads. You can do this for example by overriding the following:
@Override
public int threads() {
return 15;
}This will make the tests run with 15 concurrent threads. The default is 10.
Another useful example is to override the metaFilters() method like:
@Override
public List<String> metaFilters() {
return List.of("+inprogress");
}This will make the tests only run those with a meta tag of 'inprogress'. Often it is a good idea to make a second runner just for this process. Then it is possible to mark a test as inprogress in the bdd by setting the following at the start of the file:
Meta:
@inprogressWhen executing a runner like this, only story files with the meta tag associated will be run.
To see other potential overrides, look at the 'IPFFeatureTestRunner' class.
