Unit Tests
 Test individual functions or modules (units)
 A unit is the smallest testable part (function)
 White-Box/Glass-Box – derived from internal structure
 Test each unit separately, in a controlled environment
 Repeatable with the same results
 Facilitate automation
 Facilitate change, code confidence, agility
 Allows for “modular” development – build backend before UI

setup()
Call function(s) under test
Verify (assert) results from each function call
teardown()

TDD Basics
 Add functionality in very small chunks
 Write the test before we implement the unit
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Decide how each unit will be tested
Write the unit test code
Implement (code) the unit
Run the test, ideally any related unit tests, or even all tests
Refactor to make unit cleaner, more efficient
Repeat

XQuery Unit Testing
 Common approaches to XQuery Unit Testing
 Write the test code in XQuery
 Leverage full capability of XQuery within test code
 Write the test code in some other language (Java)
 Run tests directly from Eclipse
 Leverage JUnit and related frameworks
 Declarative test script using XML
 Framework (XQuery, Java, etc.) reads XML, executes tests as described
 Ideally test environment mimics execution environment
as closely as possible

XQuery Unit Testing – What’s
different?




Very similar to testing other languages
Techniques similar to testing other databases
Connecting to a database, considered integration test (?)
Not trivial to mock MarkLogic Server or an XQuery environment
 Better to use MarkLogic Server
 Keep your datasets small

xqunit – common functions for
testing
module namespace xq = "http://marklogic.com/xqunit";
declare function xq:assert-equal($name, $actual as
item()*, $expected as item()*) {
if (fn:deep-equal($expected, $actual)) then
<pass test="{$name}"/>
else
<fail test="{$name}">
<expected>{$expected}</expected>
<actual>{$actual}</actual>
</fail>
};

Loading Test Data
 Previous test example did not require any database data
 Many XQuery functions require some data
 Unit tests should insert test data in set-up()
 Framework invokes set-up() before each test function
 Unit tests should remove all test data in tear-down()
 Framework invokes tear-down() after each test function
Slide 18
Copyright © 2010 MarkLogic® Corporation. All rights reserved.
Test Environment Provisioning
 One database per developer
 Guarantee known state of database
 In a shared server environment, need 1 unit test database per
developer
 Or ideally, each developer has a local MLS instance for testing
 Use a separate database used exclusively for unit tests
 Typically have a database with a larger set of data for ad-hoc
application testing, keep that separate
 Use MarkLogic Admin API
 Script database configuration, make test setup easier
 Ensure consistent configuration across environments

Unit Testing XQuery from Java
 Why test from Java?
 Many frameworks to help facilitate
 JUnit, XMLUnit, HtmlUnit, XQueryUnit
 Tests can be run directly from the IDE
 Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans
 Tools have good support for JUnit
 Ant, Maven, CruiseControl, Hudson, Anthill
 Can combine Java unit tests with XQuery unit tests
 Ideal for cases where the “front-end” is Java – mimic execution
environment
Slide 21

XQueryUnit
 JUnit extension classes and support classes to help facilitate
testing XQuery
 Developed by Mark Logic Professional Services, used by
numerous customers
 Supports both HTTP and XDBC interfaces
 Includes a number of convenience utilities:
 Inserting test data, clean up at tear down
 Generates wrapper code for invoking library modules
 XML diff utilities for assertions
 Open Source, Apache 2 license
 Available for download at http://xquery-unit.googlecode.com/
Slide 22
Copyright © 2010 MarkLogic® Corporation. All rights reserved.
Creating a simple XQueryUnit
Test Case
1. Create a new class, subclass XQueryTestCase or
XQueryXmlHttpTestCase
2. Override setUp()(optional) to insert any test data
3. Implement 1 or more test methods that invoke XQuery
modules/functions under test
Slide 23
Copyright © 2010 MarkLogic® Corporation. All rights reserved.
Testing XQuery Modules
 2 types of modules:
 Main
 Query body
 Library
 No query body
 Variable and function declarations
 XQueryTestCase provides support for testing main and
library modules, invoked via XCC
Slide 24

Example 1 – Library Module Test
public class SearchLibTest extends XQueryTestCase {
private String modulePath = "/example1/search-lib.xqy";
private String moduleNamespace =
"http://marklogic.com/search";
public void testGetQuery() throws Exception {
XdmValue[] params = new XdmValue[] {
ValueFactory.newXSString("foobar") };
Document doc = executeLibraryModuleAsDocument(modulePath,
moduleNamespace, "get-query", params);
assertNotNull(doc);
}
}

Example 1: search-lib.xqy
xquery version "1.0-ml";
module namespace search="http://marklogic.com/search";
declare function get-query($query-str as xs:string)
as schema-element(cts:query)? {
if ($query-str eq "") then
()
else
document{cts:word-query($query-str)}/node()
};

HTTP POX Services
 POX = “Plain Old XML” – Like POJO
 POX is complementary to REST
 REST refers to a communication pattern, while POX refers to an
information format style.
 POX Services are easy to test
 Browser, wget, curl, xquery-unit, JUnit, HttpUnit
 XQueryXmlHttpTestCase provides support for testing Http based
services, including POX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_XML
Slide 28

Example POX Service
 Request:
<request>
<search>cardiac</search>
</request>
 Response:
<response>
<search:response total="1" start="1" pagelength="10">
<search:result index="1" uri="/medline1.xml" ...>
...
</search:result>
</search:response>
</response>

Example 3
public class SearchTest extends XQueryXmlHttpTestCase {
...
protected
void setUp() throws Exception {
public
void testSearch() throws Exception {
this.setServicePath("example3/search.xqy");
String req = "<request><search/></request>";
super.setUp();
} Document doc = executeQueryAsDocument(req);
XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance("/response");
Element e = (Element) xpath.selectSingleNode(doc);
assertNotNull(e);
}
public void testInvalidRequest() throws Exception {
String req = "<request><XXX/></request>";
Document doc = executeQueryAsDocument(req);
XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance("/error");
Element e = (Element) xpath.selectSingleNode(doc);
assertNotNull(e);
}
}

Example 3: search.xqy
xdmp:set-response-content-type("text/xml"),
try {
let $request := cm:get-request-element(())
let $action := $request/element()
let $check := if ($action) then () else
fn:error($NO-REQ, "No request...")
let $result :=
typeswitch ($action)
case element(search) return search:search($action)
default return fn:error($INV-REQ, "Invalid request...")
let $complete := cm:request-complete()
return $result
} catch($e) {
(xdmp:log(xdmp:quote($e)),
<error>400 Bad Request {$e}</error>)
}

Some problems to fix
The test case passed, but we have some problems
1. search.xqy does not set the http response code when an
error occurs
2. We probably want an exception would be thrown for the
invalid request
3. Test does not handle exceptions
Slide 33

Example 4: Fix SearchTest
public class SearchTest extends XQueryXmlHttpTestCase {
...
public void testInvalidRequest() throws Exception {
String req = "<request><XXX/></request>";
int statusCode = 0;
try {
Document doc = executeQueryAsDocument(req);
} catch (HttpResponseException expected) {
statusCode = expected.getStatusCode();
}
assertEquals(400, statusCode);
}
}
* We could also use JUnit4, which uses annotations for expected exceptions

Example 4: Fix response code in
search.xqy
try {
let $request := cm:get-request-element(())
let $action := $request/element()
let $check := if ($action) then () else
fn:error($NO-REQ, "No request...")
let $result :=
typeswitch ($action)
case element(search) return search:search($action)
default return fn:error($INV-REQ, "Invalid request...")
let $complete := cm:request-complete()
return $result
} catch($e) {
(xdmp:set-response-code(400,"Bad Request"),
xdmp:log(xdmp:quote($e)),
<error>400 Bad Request {$e}</error>)
}

Example 5: Inserting Test Data
 Gather 1 or more test data files (XML, text, or binary)
 Place the test data file(s) in a “resource” directory under the test
package
 Add a setUp() method to the TestCase
 Call one of the insertContent() methods in setUp()
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
this.setServicePath("example5/search.xqy");
super.setUp();
insertTestContent("resource/medline1.xml",
"/medline1.xml");
insertTestContent("resource/medline2.xml",
"/medline2.xml");
}

Example 5: Testing Search
public void testSearch() throws Exception {
// Build request and execute
String req = "<request><search>cardiac</search></request>";
Document doc = this.executeQueryAsDocument(req);
// Use XPath to retrieve the response body, assert not null
XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance("/response/s:response");
xpath.addNamespace("s", "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search");
Element response = (Element) xpath.selectSingleNode(doc);
assertNotNull(response);
// Use JDOM to assert the total number of results
int total = response.getAttribute("total").getIntValue();
assertEquals(1, total);
// Execute more XPath to assert the highlighted keyword match
xpath = XPath.newInstance("s:result/s:snippet/s:match/s:highlight/text()");
xpath.addNamespace("s", "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search");
Text highlightText = (Text)xpath.selectSingleNode(response);
assertEquals("cardiac", highlightText.getText());
}

ValueFactory.newXSString(docUri)),
ValueFactory.newVariable(new XName("new-title"),
ValueFactory.newXSString(newTitle))};
executeMainModule("example6/update.xqy",
null, variables);
// Verify update by running a query
String q = "fn:doc('/medline1.xml')"
+ "/MedlineCitation/Article/ArticleTitle/text()";
ResultSequence rs = executeQuery(q, null, null);
String updatedTitle = rs.asString();
assertEquals(newTitle, updatedTitle);

Testing Tips
 “Whenever you are tempted to type something into a print statement
or a debugger expression, write it as a test instead.”1
 When to write tests:
 During Development - Write the tests first, you’re done when the test
passes
 During Debugging – When a defect is found, write a test for that defect,
debug/fix until the test passes
 Find bugs once2
 First time a human tester finds a bug, it should be the last time

Summary
 Developer testing should be an integral part of the development
process
 Incremental steps of parallel development and testing lead to a
quality end product
 Testing tools and frameworks can help with test development,
execution, and automation
 Developer testing will result in fewer application defects, higher
code confidence, greater agility
