Major Description
A test framework is required for Muse. This framework will:
1. help in testing - individually and in combination - the various WSDM capabilities implemented in Muse
2. help users test their own endpoints
3. help run stress tests
4. Manage deployments on various target platforms and their combinations (OSGi (Equinox, others), J2EE (WAS or Tomcat) each with either axis2 or mini) for different operating systems and JDK versions
5. Provide ability to automatically executing test suites aimed at 1) endpoint function 2) standard implementation testing 3) compliance testing using the SOAP messages
There have been a number of conversations about such a framework on the mailing list led primarily by Andrew Eberbach. Those will be collected and consolidated under this feature requirement.
