Integration Testing and Weld

brucespringfield Aug 10, 2016 7:17 AM

Are there other test frameworks to use for Integration Testing with Weld other than Arquillian?

Some people find that Arquillian can be quite resource intensive and time consuming.

Hi Bruce,
Well I don't think Arquillian is so hard so I wouldn't be affraid to try it out....at least. I also know about CDI-Unit user guide « JGlue

Hi Bruce,
the resource consumption and time requirements always depend on the target environment and the container adapter used. What's the target environment of your application (Java EE 7 server, Java SE, etc.)?

The developers I am working with have been using Arquillian for the past 8 months and are not happy with it. So I was considering alternatives.

The target environment of the application is Java 8, JEE7, Weld 2.35 with CDI 1.2, message driven beans, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - Version 6.4.0

Hm, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.x is not Java EE 7 but Java EE 6. So it's more like CDI 1.0 and Weld 1.1. Weld 2.x is part of JBoss EAP 7. WRT Arquillian - it's an open source project so feel free to discuss possibilities, create issues (even with performance) and help to improve it ;-).
