Stack Stripes Extension

Today's assignment is StackStripesExtension. My extended stack is here.

All tasks completed.

Difficulties

Nothing was particularly difficult. I ran into the problem that John Hauge brought up, but I had already seen Shaoxuan Zhang's reply, so I just started tomcat from the project directory.

I also had to add $CATALINA_HOME/bin to my PATH so that emma.build.xml could find it.

Coverage

Emma Coverage summary
class:   100% (2/2)
method:  100% (18/18)
block:   97%  (142/146)
line:    94%  (39.6/42)

When I did Task 4, adding an HTTPUnit test, I noticed that the isEmpty model method wasn't being called anywhere in the controller. That pretty much ruled out 100% method coverage via HTTPUnit, so I settled for ninety-something.

In Task 5, I added tests of isEmpty to the non-HTTPUnit tests at the same time that I added tests for my new doubleIt method, so method coverage did end up at 100%.

Lessons Learned

Being told to shoot for 100% method coverage kills any desire to do black box testing. The tests we did for MyISERN-1.2 were much better, even though Emma reported less coverage.
