4. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation How are We Doing? Who uses JUnit consistently? -For Eclipse RCP applications? Who writes their tests first? Who writes their tests after? -Who finds time?

5. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation Overview The Benefits of Test-Driven Development The Challenges of Test Driving Eclipse RCP The Heartbeat of Test-Driven Development Exercise: A Simple Example Tools of the Test-Driven Trade

6. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation Overview Continued Exercise: Eclipse RCP TDD Example Functional Testing GUI Recorder Testing Conclusion References

7. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation The Benefits of Doing TDD Cleaner code –Only code what you need –Tests interact with an malleable API Coding Confidence –Increase code reliability –Ensure rapid feedback DRY Code (Don’t Repeat Yourself) –Constantly remove duplication –Ruthless refactoring

8. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation More Benefits of TDD Document our knowledge Technique for learning new libraries, frameworks and API’s Ensure we are writing tests at all!

9. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation TDD Hurdles with Eclipse RCP Separation of concerns OSGi wires bundles at runtime SWT Widgets are difficult to mock

10. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation The Heartbeat of TDD Red - Write a test that fails Green - Make it pass Refactor - Remove duplication Repeat

11. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation Exercise: A Simple Example Fire up Eclipse and follow along!

12. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation Tools of the Trade JUnit and JMock PDE JUnit Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern Presenter First Methodology

13. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation JUnit and JMock Use for classes that are not dependent on Eclipse Platform API Particularly useful for testing business logic in model classes

14. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation PDE JUnit (Plug-in JUnit) PDE JUnit tests are executed by a special test runner that launches another Eclipse instance in a separate VM. This means your tests can call the Eclipse Platform API, along with methods from your own plug-in.

20. ©2008 Obtiva Corporation Easier Eclipse RCP with Presenter First Drive unit tests against Presenter View and Model are interfaces –Mock Implementation –Actual Implementation Implement only the behavior required by each story Keep view dumb and minimal
