I'm a testing noob and I need to test a JSF application. So I only just started exploring JSFUnit (read: I've googled it and StackOverflow-ed it), which as I understand uses/extends JUnit, HTMLUnit, HTTPUnit and other units that I have no idea about.
The thing is, the app uses Hibernate and what I want to know is whether or not I can use JSFUnit to create comprehensive tests that encompass model, view and controller, not to mention all that the HTTPUnit supposedly does?
Also, if I'm using Primefaces Dialog Framework so that my dialogs are not in the same page that opens said dialog, would I be able to test this approach? Or would it be better, in terms of testing, if my dialog was on the same page?
I hope my questions make sense. I promise they made sense in my head. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
It seems that you require something more complex than pure unit tests.
Take a look at Selenium framework, as it simulates user interaction through a real recorded use case, and is easy to work with.
