Acceptance Tests As Monitors

• A simple library that allows you to run junit tests as monitoring checks, using the dropwizard framework
• Runs tests on a schedule and exposes results via a restful api that can be called from your monitoring setup (e.g. nagios, zabbix, icinga, pingdom etc etc)

<dependency>    
   <groupId>me.atam</groupId>    
   <artifactId>atam4j</artifactId>    
   <version>{atam4j.version}</version>    
</dependency>

where atam4j.version is the version number you want to use. The latest version is as shown below

1. Include the atam4j maven dependency along with the following required dependencies

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.dropwizard</groupId>
    <artifactId>dropwizard-core</artifactId>
    <version>{dw.version}</version>
</dependency>

where {dw.version} should be replaced by the version number as defined by the dw.version property in the main project pom

2. Write Junit based tests in the usual manner. You can choose to either add a @Monitor annotation to your test classes and let atam4j detect them or simply supply an array of classes to the builder. This is explained further, below.

3. Instantiate Atam4j in your main dropwizard application class, as shown below

If specifying an explicit array of Test classes:

new Atam4j.Atam4jBuilder(jerseyEnvironment)     
    .withTestClasses(HelloWorldTest.class) 
    .build()      
    .initialise();

If using @Monitor annotations to auto-detect test classes:

new Atam4j.Atam4jBuilder(jerseyEnvironment)      
    .build()      
    .initialise();     

where jerseyEnvironment is an object of type io.dropwizard.jersey.setup.JerseyEnvironment

4. Run your app and observe the status of the acceptance tests reported by the /tests endpoint.

Refer to atam4j-sample-app for a complete working example.

Refer to our Wiki

mvn clean install

mvn clean test

Only core committers can release atam4j to maven central. You need Sonatype Nexus OSS account info for atam.me.

1. Set version of the release

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=${versionNumber}

2. Commit the version back to git and push to remote

git commit -a -m "Prepare release v${versionNumber}"    
git push

3. Tag code

git tag -a v${versionNumber} -m 'version ${versionNumber}'     
git push origin v${versionNumber}

4. Create release in Github - https://github.com/atam4j/atam4j/releases

5. Deploy to maven central

mvn clean deploy

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/me/atam/atam4j/

Look for non-snapshot version https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/me/atam/atam4j/

A module which tests atam4j from end to end by starting an application that imports the core-library and runs dummy-tests.

The core library that runs tests and exposes the results via an api.

Module containing the atam4j annotations only. If you wish to annotate your tests, this is the only dependency required.

Contains dummy tests to verify that atam4j reports correctly on the status of tests that we know in advance will pass or fail. These are not run during the build.

Contains some common code shared by tests.
