How to use CodePro Analytix with Spring MVC project for jUnit generation?

Question

We are evaluating CodePro analytix to generate jUnits. We are working on a web project in spring3.0. As of now CodePro is generating useless jUnits. It generates identical testcase. ( I have already specified spring-test.jar as the manual suggests ).

If you have used this tool for jUnit generation in Spring project, then please help. I assume we have to specify our spring-configuration xml somewhere or else how it will get to know about DI. Also, we might require to mock few of the required object, not sure though.

Once done the codepro plugin setup, Right Click on the class or package ->select generate Junit test cases.

It will generate test class for your class. Then inside setup method you have to set the spring config XML.

ServiceFacadeImpl.Java:

public class ServiceFacadeImpl implements ServiceFacade {

        private ServiceDAO serviceDAO;

        @Override
        public ServiceVO getService(int serviceId) {
            return (ServiceVO) serviceDAO.getById(serviceId);
        }

        @Override
        public List<ServiceVO> getServices() {
            String criteria = " WHERE activeSwitch='Y' ORDER BY lastUpdatedDt DESC";
            return (List<ServiceVO>) serviceDAO.getAll(criteria);
        }
        /**
         * @return the serviceDAO
         */
        public ServiceDAO getServiceDAO() {
            return serviceDAO;
        }

        /**
         * @param serviceDAO
         *            the serviceDAO to set
         */
        public void setServiceDAO(ServiceDAO serviceDAO) {
            this.serviceDAO = serviceDAO;
        }   
    }

*Codepro Generated Class *

ServiceFacadeImplTest.java:

public class ServiceFacadeImplTest {
    private ServiceFacadeImpl serviceFacadeImpl;
    ServiceFacadeImpl fixture = null;
    /**
     * Run the ServiceVO getService(int) method test.
     * 
     * @throws Exception
     * 
     * @generatedBy CodePro at 7/7/13 10:34 PM
     */
    @Test
    public void testGetService_1() throws Exception {
        List<ServiceVO> result = fixture.getServices();
        int serviceId = 0;      
        ServiceVO result1 = fixture.getService(1);
        assertNotNull(result1);
    }

    /**
     * Run the List<ServiceVO> getServices() method test.
     * 
     * @throws Exception
     * 
     * @generatedBy CodePro at 7/7/13 10:34 PM
     */
    @Test
    public void testGetServices_1() throws Exception {
        List<ServiceVO> result = fixture.getServices();
        assertNotNull(result);
    }

    /**
     * Perform pre-test initialization.
     * 
     * @throws Exception
     *             if the initialization fails for some reason
     * 
     * @generatedBy CodePro at 7/7/13 10:34 PM
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("resource")
    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        this.setServiceFacadeImpl((ServiceFacadeImpl) new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
                "applicationContext-facade.xml").getBean("serviceFacade"));
        fixture = this.getServiceFacadeImpl();
    }

    /**
     * Perform post-test clean-up.
     *

     *             if the clean-up fails for some reason

     */
    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        // Add additional tear down code here
    }

    /**
     * Launch the test.
     * 
     * @param args
     *            the command line arguments
     * 
     * @generatedBy CodePro at 7/7/13 10:34 PM
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new org.junit.runner.JUnitCore().run(ServiceFacadeImplTest.class);
    }

    /**
     * @return the serviceFacadeImpl
     */
    public ServiceFacadeImpl getServiceFacadeImpl() {
        return serviceFacadeImpl;
    }

    /**
     * @param serviceFacadeImpl
     *            the serviceFacadeImpl to set
     */
    public void setServiceFacadeImpl(ServiceFacadeImpl serviceFacadeImpl) {
        this.serviceFacadeImpl = serviceFacadeImpl;
    }
}

In the setup() method, we have to load the spring config xml, the above one i have loaded applicationContext-facade.xml

Does that mean, CodePro will create only dummy/skelton of testcases? — Rakesh Juyal, Dec 03 '13 at 12:15
Not only Skelton, Depending upon the configuration it will generate the number of test cases for a single method. But you have to do some input alteration work. If we use CodePro just we need to give the inputs Instead of writing the entire Junit testclass. — Tech Mahesh, Dec 03 '13 at 12:20
`Depending upon the configuration it will generate the number of test cases`, are you referring `spring-configuration`? But as you said this can be given only after the junits are generated. — Rakesh Juyal, Dec 03 '13 at 12:26
No, This would be configured in eclipse-code pro plugin properties. — Tech Mahesh, Dec 03 '13 at 12:29
Right now am in office, Once reach home will give you the example — Tech Mahesh, Dec 03 '13 at 12:32
