You can use the lifecycle test pattern to test the lifecycle methods (creating new beans, removing beans, and finding beans) of entity beans, to test the correctness of an entity bean's state, and to test persistence and database lookups of entity beans.
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.
