Running a local testserver

• Navigate to the folder containing the "manage.py" file. Then type:

python manage.py runserver

Running a test suite

• Navigate to the folder containing the "maketest" file. Then type:

make -f maketest [unit | acceptance | integration]

Mads, Herluf & Philip

Compiler: Python 2.7

The following modules are dependencies of the project and will need to be installed.

• Django: Framework for creating webapplications
• Requests: A module for requesting HTTP responses
• Robot: Framework for acceptancetesting
• Selenium2Libary: Browser automation for acceptancetesting

The following commands will install all dependencies needed to execute run the website plus running the testsuite:

$ pip install django
$ pip install requests
$ pip install robotframework
$ pip install robotframework-selenium2library

It is strongly recommended to place the project inside a virtual enviornment with the appropriate dependencies installed. A virtual enviornment can be created using the python module virtualenv. A fully configured virtual enviornment can be created in the current directory with the following commands:

virtualenv [ENV_NAME] -p python2.7
cd [ENV_NAME]
source bin/activate
$ pip install django
$ pip install requests
$ pip install robotframework
$ pip install robotframework-selenium2library

The projects different testsuites can be run using the makefile maketest which is located in the Product folder. The syntax is:

make -f maketest [THE_TESTING_SUITE_TO_RUN]

There are three different suites:

• unit: Unittesting of the modules Scraper, CommandManager and their subclasses.
• integration: Integrationtesting of the adapter between the webapp and the other modules.
• acceptance: Automated acceptancetesting using the robot framework.
  • NB. A local testserver must be active in another terminal window.

*Please note that this project was written in Python, yet GitHub indicates over 80% of the code on this repository is HTML. This is because our acceptancetestingframework generates several HTML-pages as the result of the testing, with the results from testing.
