Overview

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 ​considering a similar test approach. This is also an area where we should work together with the GS team as we have similar requirements.
