[ASSEMBLY-194] Test classes do not correspond to Maven conventions -PROPOSAL

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

I propose that ASSEMBLY 194 is Closed
with No Action.

The claim is made that the naming of
the test classes does not match Maven conventions
and that:

a) Test
classes should be renamed from "*Tests" to "*Test"

b) Test
classes should be moved from /java to Maven /tests



First - the Maven build is only supplied
as an example.  It is not normative and can be replaced by the user
by any other build tool.

Second, these testcases are named with
the form:

ASM_nnnn_TestCase.java

This follows the JUnit convention -
and the client classes are indeed using the JUnit conventions.
I believe that this is reasonable naming
convention.

Third, the tests are the main deal in
this layout - there is nothing in the "project" other than the
tests.
This means to me that they should go
into the /java directory and not the /tests directory.
They are tests of the SCA runtime -
but the project here is the testcases themselves.


As for running the testcases from the
command line, I have built an Ant-based command script which is
again a non-normative example way of
running the testcases.  If anyone would like to add additional
ways of running the testcases, please
feel free to add them to the SVN repository.


Yours,  Mike.
