Citrus Integration Testing

An introduction to a framework that can help with testing some of the harder things to test. We will be doing integration testing for Http, JMS, SOAP, REST, WebSockets, TCP/IP, SMTP. All with timeouts, error control and capable in a variety of JVM Languages.

The novice developer develops code and sends their code to a server to see how well it runs and if it tests well. The round trip cost in doing so is expensive. The advanced developer tests their code first locally as best as they can before even initial deployment to a test server. They do so by swapping actual implementations with canned information. This is always done for unit testing but done strategically in integration. Integration testing will be our focus as we cover one of the interesting frameworks out there, Citrus. Citrus is a tool that will aid in integration testing and will aid in a variety of common things we need to test in our day to day lives.
