[Geoserver-devel] GSIP#12 Mock Test Support

[Jody G. <jga...@re...>]

The problem has been discussed, via email. The page currently is 
incomplete ..

Specific questions:
Proposal Type: is this not simply an improvement? Ie defining a mock 
configuration, and then using it to produce test cases?

Implementation
- the details indicate that a mock geoserver instance will be needed. 
How many classes must be stubbed? I understand the answer depends on how 
the configuration proposal goes ... can we have an answer either way?
- could we not implement this against a default configuration? Packaged 
in a zip file in the usual manner? But only used when running the test 
cases,,,

Risks:
Having to adjust to a different configuration abstraction seems to be 
the major risk (enough that you would like this work scheduled 
afterwords). Do we have any risks in terms of QA?

Cheers,
Jody
