Code Analysis Tools

Due to comments in the GSoC meetings, some static analysis tools have been added to the project. The tools are just a complement, a platform like Sonar should be used as it integrates better with the structure of DSpace and we could have the reports linked to Jira.

...

• FindBugs : static code bug analyser
• PMD and CPD: static analyser and "copy-and-paste" detector
• TagList: finds comments with a certain annotation (like XXX or TODO)
• Testability Explorer: detects issues in classes that difficult the creation of unit tests

The reports They can be generated by launching:

...

from the main folder. Be aware this will take a long time!, probably more than 20 minutes.

Functional Tests

These are tests which come from user-based use cases. Such as a user wants to search DSpace to find material and download a pdf. Or something more complex like a user wants to submit their thesis to DSpace and follow it through the approval process. These are stories about how users would preform tasks and cover a wide array of components within Dspace.

This tests are currently under development 

Future Work

This project creates a structure for testing that can expanded. Future tasks would include:
