I’ll elloborate my requirements:

* A GUI should be designed which prompts the user to select a package.

* It will then display all the methods in the classes of the selected package.

* The user needs to select a method to test.

* The user needs to enter the expected and actual results for the JUnit test of the selected method.

* The JUnit test is now executed and the result states that whether the test has passed or not.
(upto this stage, I have completed). The problem starts from here:

* The actual and expected results which are fed for the test should be extracted and stored in a file (say a text document).
(this should be done for all the tests which are encountered by the method)

* When a method is tested again, the actual and expected results should be imported from these files and also we need to feed them through the GUI.

* In between, the test (the input we feed through the GUI) which we do through the GUI should undergo code coverage analysis

I talked to my guide about the usage of Selenium RC, but he insists me to concentrate on this GUI first

Some confusions-

want to import test data for JUnit from external source i.e., I need to maintain test data alone in a separate file.

what is this external source. are u providing data through UI and storing into a file.

what operation you are doing on that test data. Some methods are involve in thses operations. you need to use those methods in your unit tests (junit). junit is used for writing unit test cases to test java code, for functional (UI) testcases selenium is good choice.

after the completeion of these test cases, emma will come in picture for code coverage.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks for replying. Actually my project is to automate the testing process for a web application. I was able to run a basic build file which uses the money sample package from JUnit.

I want to import test data for JUnit from external source i.e., I need to maintain test data alone in a separate file. Whenever JUnit is executed, actual and expected results should be imported from the test data.

All these processes should be done through a GUI

I will be happy to help you out, tell me what exactly your project is.

before creating build target, read some stuff regarding junit and ant (prefer their official sites). emma is easy to learn but you need to cover unit and functional test cases for your project.

i am working on enterprise application. i created a metadata.emma and add it to the my ear fille and copy this ear in deploy folder of jboss.

i run my application and navigate to all the pages but i didnt see any file like coverage.ec in Jboss/bin.
