Intent
To automate execution of the FitNium acceptance tests and generate reports using maven. This is particularly useful in test driven and continuous integration environment.
Motivation
In one of the recent projects we wanted to integrate FitNium acceptance tests with maven based build system.We were using FitNium as it allows us to write and execute Selenium tests using the FitNesse framework but without the need to write a single line of code.
We had created the FitNium test script to test our application. FitNium test script is based on FitNesse doFixture and provides a English language interpretation of the Selenium API.
As part of the maven build system we wanted
- Automatic start up of the servers (Application server, Selenium and FitNesse)
- Execution of the acceptance tests along with the report generation
- Stopping the servers
How we accomplished this forms the basis of this post.
