Adding Mock Fault to an activity

This document provides steps to add Mock Fault for activties in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition with the Maven Plug-in. Users can also mock faults thrown by activities so that they can test their exception handling logic and test all the transitions. Currently, Mocking Feature doesn't support the main process. They only mock faults of the activities from sub-processes.

Prerequisites

  • Apache Maven:

    https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

  • TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for Maven Plugin 2.6.0 should be installed. Please download the plug-in from:

    https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/bw6-plugin-maven/releases
  • Activities to be mocked should be present in sub-process where sub-process should be under Unit testing.
  • Generate valid Mock Fault file. For more information on generating the mock output file, see Generating Mock Fault File.

Make sure the demo project with the subprocess that has faults to be mocked, is created.
