Introduction

Now is really easy to create your own test. It taks only 10 minutes !!

You just follow this instructions or watch the screencast.

The main steps are:

Checkout Parent Pom

svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/qa/tags/testcases-YOUR-FAVOURITE-VERSION mytests --depth=files --force

Now change to the new directory and create your test with maven archetype.

Note: First edit pom.xml and remove all modules section.

Create Test

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.sakaiproject.qa.plugins -DarchetypeArtifactId=test-archetype

You can choose any groupId or artifactId but we recommend not change groupId.

This generation includes new artifact in a general modules section, you have to move modules section into default profile.

Now compile your new test.

Compile Test

mvn clean install

FInally you need to change the value of test-artifactId property to the new created. This avoid the inclusion of -Dtest-artifactId=xxx on each maven command.

Now you are ready to edit and customize your new test.

Edit Test

mvn test -Pjmeter,edit -Dtest-file=test.jmx

This is the very simplified test generated, and you could run it.

Run Test

mvn test site -Pjmeter,run

Test results will be published on target/site directory with this format:

By default generated test is configured over qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org as destination server.

To change this modify global.properties file.
