Try extending Cocoon's AbstractCompositeTestCase. It sets up mock objects
and is set up to test generators, transformers and serializers. You can
configure basic components and test them as well.  The only thing I haven't
figured out how to test with it is an input module.

Subject: tescase avalon component in cocoon


hy, 
i would like use the Excalibur Testcase for test my avalon component in
cocoon 
but i don't know how do ?
 
i tried  with this code but my component use contextualize method  and 
there is a contextException because the context object is not a cocoon
context
note : i have not experience in TestCase..
 
my code : 
 
public class TestIndexComponentImpl extends ExcaliburTestCase {
 
  public TestIndexComponentImpl(String name) {
    super(name);
  }
 
  protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();
    FileInputStream reader=new FileInputStream("d://testcase.xml");
    this.prepare(reader);
  }
 
  protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
    super.tearDown();
  }
 
  public void testAnalyzer() {
    try {
      AnalyzerManager manager =
(AnalyzerManager)this.lookup(AnalyzerManager.ROLE);
    }
    catch (ComponentException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    this.assertNotNull(manager);
  }
