| | 10 | == Overview == |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Currently there is little to no test automation available in the GeoNetwork trunk. Specific projects like for ESA and Swiss Topo have developed test-approaches within their respective sandboxes. It is recognized that there are many forms of testing, for example both "black" and "white (unit)" -box testing. This proposal is about making a start for black box testing the GN protocol APIs using a uniform approach for conformance/performance and stress testing. This uniform approach implies the development of a "test framework" that should facilitate authoring and (automated) execution of tests. Note that other projects like GeoServer, having much more experience e.g. with CITE tests, are also [http://docs.codehaus.org/display/DH/Home considering a similar test approach]. This is also an area where we should work together with the GS team as we have similar requirements. |

| | 28 | |
| | 29 | == Motivations == |
| | 30 | The current GN trunk implementation has no form test automation. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | == Proposal == |
| | 33 | (To be supplied) As a start user the implementation from the Swiss Topo project (geocat.sh sandbox). |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | === Backwards Compatibility Issues === |
| | 36 | None (as there was no test automation). |
