Test that Java Beans are serializable, and that getters/setters work as expected

generic-bean-tests for JUnit

Test that Java Beans are serializable, and that getters/setters work as expected.

This library provides for a simple method of testing beans. It depends on Spring to perform classpath scanning (in future this dependancy may be removed).

It will,

• Test that a bean is serializable
• Test that where a bean has a matching getter and setter, calling the setter and then the getter results in the set value being returned.

The tests are configured by adding a file called GenericBeanTests.properties to the test classpath. The following properties are supported in the properties file:-

 packagesContainingBeans=com/landrover/lrdxwww/mvc/beans/,com/landrover/lrdxwww/mvc/component/
 serializableExcludeList=ImageSizeBeanHeightComparator,ImageSizeBeanWidthComparator
 getterAndSetterExcludeList=SomeClassName,SomeOtherClassName
 excludeClassNamesWhichMatchRegex=(Tests)\\z
 includeClassNamesWhichMatchRegex=(Bean)\\z

A Hamcrest "isSerializable" matcher is also included.

Maven

Add the following dependancy to the pom.xml,

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.connect-group</groupId>
    <artifactId>generic-bean-tests</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

To Execute Tests

Create a simple class in the test classpath, e.g.

public class RunGenericBeanTests extends GenericBeanTestSuite {}
