[OFBiz] Dev - Entity Engine Unit Testing

[A. Zeneski]

Brett,

Yes, we are looking to create a standard JUnit test suite for the 
entity engine. One of the main purposes for this is we have been 
invited to join the MySQL Pro Network. In order to be accepted we have 
to provide a test suite and prove that the application works with this 
specific version of MySQL.

I think this will prove to be very valuable to the project in the long 
term. We will be listed as an official application under the MySQL 
Network.

We are requesting the community to help build out this suite. The 
requirements are that we need to provide tests for all features of 
MySQL in which OFBiz utilizes. This can be accomplished by creating a 
standard Entity Engine test suite.

My suggestion is that we take a look at the test suite for MySQL or the 
PostgreSQL JDBC driver and create similar tests using the EE.

I have asked Si to take the lead on this to try to get some community 
involvement. This is not a very complicated task and will be very 
useful to the project in the long run. As Si mentioned it is also a 
fantastic way to get more intimate with the entity engine.
