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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
