Testing

Cosmo includes hundreds of lightweight Java and JavaScript unit tests designed to be run frequently (before every checkin) located in /src/test/unit. The Java tests are built with JUnit and run with the mvn test goal. How are JS tests built and run?

Our functional test framework is called HTTPTest and is located in src/test/functional. It is written in Python and is designed to run both simple automated tests and longer term performance and scalability tests. Info on how to write these tests is found at WritingCosmoAutomatedTests. Info on how to run these tests is found at RunningTestsWithHTTPTest. This information needs to be updated.
