JCOSTestKit

JCOS testing kit platform with modular plugin capability.

Plugin Repository

All plugins can be found in the plugins-repo folder. They are in Eclipse project format but you can copy them into your own project/IDE of preference via it's source code.

Loading Plugins

Create a ext folder in your working directory if it does not exist. Copy all necessary Java class .class files into the ext folder according to their package format.

Running the JCOSTestKit platform

The executable JAR file is found in the deliverables folder. You should copy it out to your working directory together with the ext folder and start the JAR file with java -jar JCOSTestKit.jar. It will automatically comb the ext directory for all the necessary plugins and populate the platform with a list of loaded plugins for testing executions.

Developing Plugins

Copy the interfaces package from the sample plugin package DefaultJCOSTestPlugin source folder into your own project.

Create a class that implements the TestFunctionInterface class and implement the necessary methods.

Compile your source codes with Oracle Java SDK compiler and copy the generated bin folder class files and packages into the ext folder of the JCOSTestKit platform. The sample plugin package already contains a fully compiled, ready and running sample code. The platform itself is also by default equipped with the sample plugin package classes ready for demo use.

Contributing Plugins

Please issue a pull request for pulling your plugin extension packages that you want to contribute to the test extensions or to improve on the usage and capabilities of the testing framework.
