What is Arquillian?

Arquillian is open source software that empowers you to test JVM-based applications more effectively. Created to defend the software galaxy from bugs, Arquillian brings your test to the runtime so you can focus on testing your application's behavior rather than managing the runtime. Using Arquillian, you can develop a comprehensive suite of tests from the convenience of your IDE and run them in any IDE, build tool or continuous integration environment.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.2.Final release of the Arquillian Core component!

Another little maintenance release in the Arquillian 1.0 series.

The @Deployment can now be defined on private and protected methods. The same package and protected support is applicable to the SPI level for service and observer implementations.

@Deployment
static JavaArchive createDeployment() {
   ...
}

Using environment variables in arquillian.xml is now possible via the property expression ENV.name

<container qualifier="example">
   <property name="jbossHome">${ENV.JBOSS_HOME}</property>
</container>

Ever run into this exception? “UnsupportedOperationException: Multiple WebArchives found in X.ear. Can not determine which to enrich.”
The exception happens when the Servlet Protocol in Arquillian attempts to enrich an EnterpriseArchive for in-container testing, but multiple WebArchives were found in the Deployment, and it can’t determine which you want to test. With the help of Robert Panzer this is now supported. You can give a Protocol a hint to which Archive is under test by using the new Testable.archiveToTest(Archive) method.

@Deployment
static EnterpriseArchive create() {
   return ShrinkWrap.create(EnterpriseArchive.class)
      .addAsModule(...some..war..)
      .addAsModule(
         Testable.archiveToTest(
            ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
               .addXYZ(...)
         )
      );
}

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 1.0.0.Final release of the Graphene component!

Graphene is joining rest of the Arquillian party, building on top of Arquillian testing platform Drone extension, both which reached their first stable version yesterday.

The Mission

Arquillian Graphene focuses on making real-browser automation a breeze.

The project was started to address simplification of covering AJAX-enabled applications with browser automation tests.

While Selenium project is focusing on unified API, integration with variety of browsers, Graphene project is addressing the real-world testing challenges:

• rapid development
  • straight-forward
  • readable API
  • fast turnaround
• object-oriented
  • type-safe API
  • dependency injection of thread-local context
• instabilities and speed of execution in continuous integration
  • jQuery selectors
  • request guards

Availability

The Graphene bits are available in JBoss Community artifact repository, dual-licensed under LGPL v2.1 (backward-compatibility) and ASL v2.0 (which uses rest of the Arquillian sub-projects).

For those who are already using Graphene in a Maven project, you can simply update the version to 1.0.0.Final.

You can start with the tests using our Getting Started with the JBoss Maven repository guide.

The Future

Right now we are heavily working on making the new version of Graphene 2 on the road.

Selenium 2 with its WebDriver API made huge progress with API accessibility and readability. It’s already pleasure to work with this API in Java world.

However still there are many shortcomings we are going to address with Graphene 2, building on top of concepts brought in Graphene 1 and adding new features, which opens world of new possibilities:

• dependency injection of thread-local context
• fast development turnaround
• cross-cutting concerns (command interception)
• request guards
• page extensions
• component objects
  • extension of page objects concept
• JavaScript test execution from within Selenium test

If you enjoy testing and you are unsatisfied with the current browser automation tooling, it’s perfect time to step in and help us to bring the future!
