Mule Testing Framework

Main areas of functionality

• Uses JUnit 4.x which supports annotation based tests.
• Abstract Testcases which you extend to get most of the functionality you need.
• DeviceManager - Start and stop 'local' (in-process) Mule instances or 'remote' (seperate process) Mule instances and other infrastructure such as (FTP, ActiveMQ, Hypersonic, etc) necessary for testing Mule.
• DiagnosticAppender - A Log4j appender which allows the creation of testable 'points' within your code based on the logging it performs.
• AssertUtils - Tests the information gathered by DiagnosticAppender.
• Remote Log Listener - A DeviceManager Adaptor which gathers remote logging events making them available to your JUnit tests.
• Testcases - A collection of test cases which leverage the testing framework to demonstrate the various uses of Mule.
• Cookbook - A collection of code which the testcases use.
