Executing Tests

The JAX-RS 1.1 TCK uses the JavaTest harness to execute the tests in the test suite. For detailed instructions that explain how to run and use JavaTest, see the JavaTest User's Guide and Reference in the documentation bundle.

This chapter includes the following topics:


Note - The instructions in this chapter assume that you have installed and configured your test environment as described in Chapter 3, Installation and Chapter 4, Setup and Configuration, respectively.


5.1 Overview

As explained in Appendix B, Packaging the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Test Applications in Servlet-Compliant WAR Files With VI-Specific Information, the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK introduces the concept of repackaging the TCK tests.

5.2 Starting JavaTest

There are two general ways to run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK using the JavaTest harness software:

  • Through the JavaTest GUI

  • From the command line in your shell environment


Note - The <TS_HOME>/bin/ant command referenced in the following two procedures and elsewhere in this guide is a wrapper around the Ant build tool, which is included in the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK bundle. The build.xml file in <TS_HOME>/bin contains the various Ant targets for the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK test suite


To Start JavaTest in GUI Mode

  • Change to the <TS_HOME>/bin directory and execute the <TS_HOME>/bin/ant gui target:cd <TS_HOME>/bin <TS_HOME>/bin/ant gui

To Start JavaTest in Command-Line Mode

  1. Change to any subdirectory under <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests.
  2. Start JavaTest using the following command:<TS_HOME>/bin/ant runclient
Example 5-1 JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Signature Tests

To run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK signature tests, enter the following commands:

cd <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/signaturetest/jaxrs
<TS_HOME>/bin/ant runclient
Example 5-2 Single Test Directory

To run a single test directory, enter the following commands:

cd <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/jaxrs/api/rs/getTest
<TS_HOME>/bin/ant runclient
Example 5-3 Subset of Test Directories

To run a subset of test directories, enter the following commands:

cd <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/jaxrs/api 
<TS_HOME>/bin/ant runclient

5.3 Running a Subset of the Tests

To Run a Subset of Tests in GUI Mode

  1. Click Configure->Change Configuration->Tests to Run from the JavaTest main menu.

    The tabbed Configuration Editor dialog is displayed.

  2. Click Specify from the option list on the left.
  3. Select the tests you want to run from the displayed test tree, and then click Done.

    You can select entire branches of the test tree, or use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple tests or ranges of tests, respectively.

  4. Click Save File.
  5. Click Run Tests->Start to run the tests you selected.

    Alternatively, you can right-click the test you want from the test tree in the left pane of the JavaTest main window, and choose Execute These Tests from the popup menu.

  6. Click Report->Create Report.
  7. Specify the directory in which the JavaTest test harness will write the report, and then click OK.

    A report is created, and you are asked whether you want to view it.

  8. Click Yes to view the report.

To Run a Subset of Tests in Command-Line Mode

  1. Change to the directory containing the tests you want to run.

    For example, <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/jaxrs/api.

  2. Start the test run by executing the following command:

    <TS_HOME>/bin/ant runclient

    The tests in <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/jaxrs/api and its subdirectories are run.

To Run a Subset of Tests in Batch Mode Based on Prior Result Status

You can run certain tests in batch mode based on the test's prior run status by specifying the priorStatus system property when invoking <TS_HOME>/bin/ant.

  • Invoke <TS_HOME>/bin/ant with the priorStatus property.

    The accepted values for the priorStatus property are any combination of the following:

    • fail

    • pass

    • error

    • notRun

    For example, you could run all the JAX-RS tests with a status of failed and error by invoking the following commands:

    cd <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/jaxrs
    <TS_HOME>/bin/ant -DpriorStatus="fail,error" runclient

    Note that multiple priorStatus values must be separated by commas.

5.4 Running the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK against the Sun RI

This test scenario is ensures that the configuration and deployment of all the Sun prebuilt JAX-RS 1.1 TCK tests against the Sun Reference Implementation are successful, and that the TCK is ready for compatibility testing against the Vendor and Sun Implementations.

To Run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Against the Sun RI

  1. Verify that you have followed the configuration instructions in 4.1 Configuring Your Environment to Run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Against the Sun Reference Implementation.
  2. Verify that you have completed the steps in 4.3.2 Deploying the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Prebuilt Archives.
  3. Run the tests, as described in 5.2 Starting JavaTest and, if desired, 5.3 Running a Subset of the Tests.

5.5 Running the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Against a Vendor's Implementation

This test scenario is one of the compatibility test phases that all Vendors must pass.

To Run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Against a VI

  1. Verify that you have followed the configuration instructions in 4.2 Configuring Your Environment to Repackage and Run the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Against the Vendor Implementation.
  2. Verify that you have completed the steps in 4.3.3 Deploying the JAX-RS 1.1 TCK Test Applications Against the Vendor Implementation.
  3. Run the tests, as described in 5.2 Starting JavaTest and, if desired, 5.3 Running a Subset of the Tests.

5.6 Test Reports

A set of report files is created for every test run. These report files can be found in the report directory you specify. After a test run is completed, the JavaTest harness writes HTML reports for the test run. You can view these files in the JavaTest ReportBrowser when running in GUI mode, or in the web browser of your choice outside the JavaTest interface.

To see all of the HTML report files, enter the URL of the report.html file. This file is the root file that links to all of the other HTML reports.

The JavaTest harness also creates a summary.txt file in the report directory that you can open in any text editor. The summary.txt file contains a list of all tests that were run, their test results, and their status messages.

5.6.1 Creating Test Reports

To Create a Test Report in GUI Mode
  1. Click Report->Create Report from the JavaTest main menu.

    You are prompted to specify a directory to use for your test reports. The default location is <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/signaturetests/jaxrs.

  2. Specify the directory you want to use for your reports, and then click OK.

    Use the Filter drop-down list to specify whether you want to generate reports for the current configuration, all tests, or a custom set of tests.

    You are asked whether you want to view report now.

  3. Click Yes to display the new report in the JavaTest ReportBrowser.
To Create a Test Report in Command-Line Mode
  • Specify where you want to create the test report.
    1. To specify the report directory from the command line at runtime, use:<TS_HOME>/bin/ant -Dreport.dir="<report_dir>"

      Reports are written for the last test run to the directory you specify. The default location is <TS_HOME>/src/com/sun/ts/tests/signaturetests/jaxrs.

    2. To specify the default report directory, set the report.dir property in <TS_HOME>/bin/ts.jte.

      For example, report.dir="/home/josephine/reports".

    3. To disable reporting, set the report.dir property to "none", either on the command line or in ts.jte.

      For example:

      <TS_HOME>/bin/ant -Dreport.dir="none"

5.6.2 Viewing an Existing Test Report

To View an Existing Report in GUI Mode
  1. Click Report->Open Report from the JavaTest main menu.

    You are prompted to specify the directory containing the report you want to open.

  2. Select the report directory you want to open, and then click Open.

    The selected report set is opened in the JavaTest ReportBrowser.

To View an Existing Report in Command-Line Mode
  • Use the Web browser of your choice to view the report.html file in the report directory you specified from the command line or in ts.jte.
