You can use the EJB session facade testing pattern to test the implementation of the session facade design pattern. This design pattern is used to provide a higher level business logic interface, to hide the complexity of the application from the client, and to improve performance. The session facade testing pattern generates tests for an EJB session facade and for the subsystem behind the facade.
This starts the Create Test for EJB wizard.
At this point, a static analysis is performed on the EJBs associated with the test project. These files were selected during the creation of the test project and serve to define the scope of the test. (The list of files in the project can be updated by modifying the test project's Test Scope properties.)
When the analysis is complete, you will see a list of components in a table format and sorted according to the computed metrics. You can use the guidance that these metrics provide to help you decide which EJB components are most important for you to test. Components with highlighted values or high numerical values are considered high-priority test candidates. For testing a session facade, it is especially useful to test components with a high Fan Out value.
After you create the test, be sure to populate the test data table with test data. To display a test data table, do one of the following:
