Testing a web application cluster with spring and junit

Question

Our team is fairly new to testing. We have created tons of junit tests they are all running on our local machines. Now, we have a staging machine which is comprised of 10 different machines (from mysql server to mongodb replication set) we would like to run our junit on the staging cluster ( a cluster of 3 apache tomcats with load balancer)

Whats our best way of doing that? is it possible to initiate the junit tests in a remote way? (lets say from our local machine to trigger the junit on the remote staging cluster)?

Answer 1

What you want is an integration test not an Unit test. You can look at using Selenium ( if its UI based ) or you can use FitNesse ( allows you to test without UI) . Alternatively you can use cargo to bring up all the 3 tomcats in an integrated fashion and then run your tests using TestNG
