ETF Java Client Library

The ETF Java Client library provides functionality to:

• query the available Executable Test Suites
• filter the Executable Test Suites by Tags
• create Ad hoc test objects
• start, monitor and control test runs
• query the results in the ETF results structure, including translated messages

Quickstart

// requires etf.client;
import de.interactive_instruments.etf.client.*;

// Create an endpoint object for the remote ETF instance
final EtfEndpoint etfEndpoint = EtfValidatorClient.create()
	.url(new URL("http://SERVICE/etf-webapp"))
	.locale(Locale.ENGLISH)
	.init();

// Get metadata Tag
final Tag metadataTag = etfEndpoint.tags().itemByLabel("Metadata (TG version 2.0) - BETA").get();

// Get a collection of Executable Test Suites with the Metadata Tag
final EtsCollection metadataTestSuites = etfEndpoint.executableTestSuites().itemsByTag(metadataTag);

// Create a new Test Object
final String METADATA_TEST_URL =
		"https://github.com/raw/jonherrmann/community/master/examples/Dataset_metadata_2.0_example.xml";
final AdHocTestObject testObject = etfEndpoint.newAdHocTestObject().fromDataSet(new URL(METADATA_TEST_URL));

// Start the Test Run
final TestRun testRun = metadataTestSuites.execute(testObject);

// Wait until the Test Run finishes and get the result (blocking call)
final TestRunResult result = testRun.result();

// Output the results
for (final TestResult testResult : result) {
	System.out.println(testResult.label()+" - "+testResult.resultStatus());
}

See the API documentation for additional details.

Mapping the results to your own model

ETF result structure

The results are available in a hierarchical structure.

• Test Run Result : the root level.
• Test Modules: for some ETS types they are hidden in the HTML report. The ETF Java Client library will skip these items, if they are traversed using the Iterable interface.
• Test Cases
• Test Steps: Based on the ETS type, these can also be hidden or possess additional information that are attached to it.
• Test Assertions: the lowest level result element representing the result of an atomic test.

The result items implement the Iterable interface. The call at a certain level of the result structure includes all sub-elements in the result during iteration.

Result Status Codes

The result status codes are describe here.

Getting the library

The library is written in Java 11. The latest version can be downloaded using the etf snapshot repository.
