Effective JavaFX Architecture Part 2 - Test Driven Development (TDD) with JavaFX

In the last installment of my post, I briefly described how to do Test Driven Development (TDD) in JavaFX using Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern. In this installment, I illustrate this particular piece in detail and provide working code samples. You can download the code here (Caution: 6.7 MB download). The download is a zip file containing all 4 Netbeans projects. The code is tested with libraries compatible with JavaFX 1.3 and with Netbeans 6.9. You will also need a Glassfish v3 instance to deploy the web application. No additional configuration is needed. The application uses the out of the box data sources configured in Glassfish v3 (jdbc/sample) to connect to the built-in Derby database schema "SAMPLE" Test Terminology I have used JUnit and jMock to build Unit Tests in the samples. If you are not familiar with jMock, or have a faint idea about the difference between fake objects, Test Stubs, mock objects etc., look at the brief definitions of the test terminology, [in line with their definitions from the xUnit Patterns book - Great book, by the way] System Under Test (SUT) or Object Under Test: This refers to the actual object or combination of objects being tested Collaborator: A SUT does not operate in isolation. It relies on other objects for input and depends on some other objects for intermediate input/output. This set of objects that SUT depends are called collaborators Fake Object: A much light ...
