Common testing tasks and concepts

The Hyades Test framework provides support for three types of testing:

• browser-based application testing

• JUnit testing

• manual testing

Although each of these areas of testing has its own unique set of tasks and concepts, two sets of topics are common to all three types of testing: creation and use of data pools, and creating a test deployment.

These testing tools have been open-sourced on the Eclipse Hyades project.

1. Providing tests with variable data
   If you associate a value in a test with a datapool column, the test substitutes column data for that value when it runs.
2. Creating a Test Deployment
   This topic describes how to create a deployment for your test suite. You must create a deployment before you can run a test.
