In one of the projects we need to migrate content from multiple websites into Hippo CMS. One of the interesting parts of this migration is that one of the websites will constantly provide us with updates of the content. Therefore it makes the migration a continuous process.
In this post I will explain how we use Spring Integration to migrate content, handle errors, measure performance and deal with the fact that content could contain references to other content that is not imported yet.
There is nothing nicer than having a functional test suite that checks if your application is still working as it should. It is even nicer to run these tests and see what is happening, while the tests are being executed. Two of the tools that give you this opportunity are Selenium RC and WebDriver.
In the project that I’m working on I use WebDriver to create functional tests. In this post I will try to give you an impression of why we switched from using Selenium RC to WebDriver and how we used WebDriver to test a Content Management System (CMS) and helped us making understandable tests.
