I (almost violently) oppose any code in a a WOComponent not directly and exclusively tied to making the UI function. I try to restrict them to binding variables, cover methods, and overrides for inherited methods. Everything else belongs someplace else, either in the EO or in a layer between the EO and UI. Doing this, the UI classes become very simple. So simple, in fact, that they could not possibly break. Therefore there is no need to write tests. Any potential bugs are best caught in functionality testing.

Slightly different topic, but how do you write tests at the component level? My WOComponent classes need a WOContext in the constructor. And there needs to be a running applicaiton, or else you run into NullPointerExceptions.

I can fake a WOContext by manually creating a WORequest with the HTTP/1.1 and URL parameters, but am running into problems creating a dummy application. Does anyone have a quick guideline for doing this?

I'm studying how to add unit tests to an WebObjects application. I would like to use xCode (i hate eclipse).



I highly recommend you take another look at Eclipse (or IntelliJ if you can afford it). Xcode might be a good IDE for C based projects, but for Java projects you can dramatically increase your productivity by using a specialized IDE.





  Two questions:

- Does WOUnitTest (http://wounittest.sourceforge.net/) still works?



Sure.




I see it's not updated since 3/2004...



What new features would you like to see?


Christian
