Adding Mock Support for Activities
This section provides steps for adding mocking support for
TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition activities with
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for Maven. You can skip execution of an activity (usually activities that are based on external service) whose process is under Unit Testing. Mocking support functionality is required mainly for the
TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition activities that are based or dependent on some external Cloud Service or Database systems, which are eventually under Unit Testing. To run Unit Testing successfully on processes that contain the
TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition activities, we need to mock the
TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition activities. Now a dummy output can be added to mock activities that can be used in Unit testing for successful execution. The mocking support can be used to mock the activities from processes or sub-processes.
Adding Mock Output to an Activity
