Description

The existing system testsuite is in a poor state.

• It is poorly structured
• Mixes different types of test. i.e. messaging behaviour with those that test features of the Java Broker (e.g. REST).
• Many of the tests refer directly to the implementation classes of the Qpid Client 0-8..0-10 client meaning the tests cannot be run using the new client.

As a first step, we want to factor out a separate messaging system test suite:

• The tests in this suite will be JMS client neutral.
• Written in terms of JNDI/JMS client
• Configurations/Broker observations will be performed via a clean Broker-neutral facade. For instance
  • a mechanism to cause the queue to be created of a particular type.
  • a mechanism to observe a queue depth.
• The tests will be classified by feature (to be defined)
• The classification system will be used to drive an exclusion feature (to be defined).
