APEX plugins contributed to the APEX community by AMIS developers
1I have to admit that, even though I have tried on several occasions to dive head first into APEX, so far I have only wet my feet. I have played a little with APEX 4.0, liked the development experience [a lot better at least than the 3.x world] and found that many concepts are the same, whether your do APEX, ADF or [presumably] .NET web application development.
One of the nice features in APEX 4.0, that allows for more more organized, better structured development with lots more reuse potential, is the plugin framework. Through this framework, interesting and reusable pieces of functionality can be shared within and across applications – as well as across the APEX developer’s community. And that community is something to be reckoned with with many, many developers around the world.
Some very enthusiastic and quite active members of the APEX community work at AMIS. And they have produced a number of plugins, and shared several on the Plugin Directory: http://www.apex-plugin.com/index.php.
Maven JMeter plugin and report generation (the last steps to get it working)
JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/)is a powerful tool for functional and performance testing web applications. JMeter, opposed to selenium, also works perfectly on generated applications (like Oracle ADF ). One of the key strengths of JMeter is the automation. The same test can be repeated after each (minor) release. This is a great help in executing time consuming regression testing.
We use Maven 2 (http://maven.apache.org/) in combination with Continuum (http://maven.apache.org/continuum/) as the basis of our AMIS-SoftwareStudio. With the build schema in Continuum we are able to execute both performance and functional regression testing every night (or even each hour if you like) on the most recent version of the application from our source repository.
The documentation on the JMeter wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/JMeterMavenPlugin) is to limited to get the JMeter plugin working at once. It does not handle the generation of reports and installing the plugin into your company repository. Most of the samples on the internet (use the Google to find Maven 2+JMeter) are based on extensive Ant scripts. The sample below shows how to get the Maven-JMeter-Plugin More >
