UNIT vs. integration tests

  1. Checks that the Contacts app navigation library works as expected
  2. Mocks the UI
  3. Dispatches events (animetionend) as the communication means among the involved components

THIS IS NOT A UNIT TEST!!!

why integration tests?


What is Marionette?

THE MARIONETTE JS RUNNER


running our first integration test

  • Pre-requisites: Node.js >= 0.10

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git
make test-integration [VERBOSE=1] [APP=<app-name> | TEST_FILES="<path-to-test-1> <path-to-test-2> ..."]

export VERBOSE=1export APP=communicationsexport TEST_FILES="<path-to-test-1> <path-to-test-2> ..."

INSTANTIATING THE MARIONETTE CLIENT

client: CONFIGURATION

client: setting the context

client: GETTING INFORMATION

client: NAVIGATING

client: FINDING ELEMENTS

client: EXECUTING SCRIPTS

client: OTHER

Element: Getting info

Element: INTERACTION

Element: FINDING CHILDREN

Final tricks: Launching apps

Final tricks: Importing scripts

Final tricks: Internationalization

Final tricks: Transitions / Animations

Final tricks: simulating dom events

  • element.click(), element.tap() sometimes just don't work 

final tricks: INTERMITTENT failures

  • Forcing may runs in a row to detect intermittent failures:
  1. Activate Travis in your forked repository from mozilla-b2g/gaia using https://travis-ci.org/profile
  2. Update .travis.yml according to https://gist.github.com/KevinGrandon/8047042 and add it to your patch
  3. Send a PR to your forked repository master branch
  4. Wait for Travis' veredict
