This Test Framework Contain the 3 basic layers
1 Core
2 Annotation processing layer
2 API layer
Core - This layer contain the common functionalities of a test framework as an example test result handling assertion….etc to develop this layer i am thinking to wrap the TestNG and Junit test bundles
Annotation processing layer - This layer which is used to introduces new annotations types as well as the read those new annotations types . Basically here I am going to use Javax.annotation* libries to process and introduces those new annotations
API layer - Actually this layer is combined with above layer here I am trying to provide and API which can be used to introduce new annotation types easily. this layer help to make this framework extensible
here is the millstone plane for the develop above layers
1- develop the Annotation processing layer -4 weeks (form May 22 to june 22)
Millstone 1 - Developed to read new annotation (Release date : May 28th)
Millstone 2 - Process that annotated method (Release date :- june 4th)
Millstone 3 - develop all the new annotations which are using in the framework (Release date june 22nd )
2 - develop the core layer - 3 weeks (from june 22 to july 16)
Millstone 4 - wrapped the TestNG bundles (Release date 30 june)
Millstone 5 - wrapped the Junit (Release date 7th july)
Millstone 6 - Integrate both Core layer and Processing layer (Release date 14 july)
I will decide the API layer millstone plane after finishing above two layer since that implementation depended on the above layers implementation
Now I am working for M1 and will send the update on 28th
Suggestions are Welcome
Thanks and Regards
