[OJB-developers] quality improvements

[Mahler T. <tho...@it...>]

Hi all,
 
OJB is making a lot of progress in the last months. We have tons of new
features and a lot of very good refactorings of the internal mechanisms.
So far so good!
 
We did not succeed to improve our regression testsuite accordingly. Of
course there a lot of new TestCases. But there are still many things not
covered thoroughly.
 
Matthew prepared a list of missing testcases, enumerating some of the most
urgent tests:
 
 
1. One-To-One test (for both ODMG and PB)
         Create/Read/Update/Delete
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with Proxies
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with class that belongs to set of classes
mapped to same table.
2. One-To-Many test (for both ODMG and PB)
         Create/Read/Update/Delete
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with Proxies
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with class that belongs to set of classes
mapped to same table.
3. Many-To-Many test (for both ODMG and PB) (both types of composition)
         Create/Read/Update/Delete
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with Proxies
         Create/Read/Update/Delete with class that belongs to set of classes
mapped to same table.
4. ODMGCollections test
         Create/Read/Update/Delete
      Create/Read/Update/Delete with proxies
         PerformanceTest
         Empty Collections Test
      Create/Read/Update/Delete with class that belongs to set of classes
mapped to same table.
      
5. Conversions Tests
6. LockMap performance tests
7. OQL ORDER BY tests
8. Concurrent Update Test
9. Deadlock test
10. Key generation tests
11. Duplicate key insertion test
12. multi-pk's test
13. callbacks test
14. Race Condition tests
15. Lock Modes test
16. CLOB/BLOB/LOB tests.
17. Delete by Query Tests
18. Query By Example tests with multiple classes mapped to same table)
 
Each of us could easily add at least 5 additional urgent testcases to this
list!
 
So I'm requesting all to join the OJB quality improvement initiative and
contribute TestCases.
Feel free to implement some of those 18 tests mentioned above or to
contribute your own TestCases.
 
As I mentioned in my  <http://objectbridge.sourceforge.net/team.html>
http://objectbridge.sourceforge.net/team.html document it's best practice to
add new TestCases with all new features or refactorings!
 
Thanks for helping to improve code quality,
 
cheers,
 
Thomas
