automated test framework

[duncow9000]

I was looking at http://labs.jboss.com/jbossrichfaces/ and it says that RichFaces has an "automated testing framework". But I can find no other references to it, and in the RichFaces Developer Guide it says that "an automated testing facility is in our roadmap for the near future".

Is there currently an automated testing framework? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks.

Perhaps JSFUnit (http://labs.jboss.com/jsfunit/) is the framework these documents are referring to?

no. we use Shale Mock framework with some our extension.

Okay. Is that available (i.e. with the extensions) for RichFaces users? Would you recommend that RichFaces users use ShaleMock for testing their applications? (I couldn't find that information on the "Most Important Links" page you mentioned. Thanks again.

ShaleMock allows to test units outside of the real run-time environment. We use it because this is most suitable for component developments.
Most likely, speaking about the end application development, JSFUnit you mentioned above is more appropriate suite.
