Openutils-testing extends the standard spring testing framework by providing more high-level base testing classes and utils.

In particular, it provides a framework for using with dbunit in Spring test cases.

The openutils-testing jar only contains generic classes that don't depends on any specific test framework. You should depend on openutils-testing-testng or openutils-testing-junit.

Openutils provide a base class that take cares of the common operations involved in preparing the test environment using DbUnit.

You can extend it.openutils.testing.testng.AbstractDbUnitTestNGSpringContextTests or it.openutils.testing.junit.AbstractDbUnitJunitSpringContextTests, depending on the test framework of your choice (remember to include the appropriate dependency, openutils-testing-testng or openutils-testing-junit). Apart from the underline test framework used, there is no difference in how those class will work.

Those base classes extend the standard Abstract*SpringContextTests classes provided by Spring, so they support dependency injection and needs to be configured from a Spring context.

Openutils releases are available in the main maven2 repository. You can simply add one of the following dependencies, according to your preferred testing framework.
