ok understand. But this is the only framework in Ivy I know. We use internal JUnit and a combination of test-sub-processes to compensate a lack of functionality. In addition I'm experimenting with selenium/etc (independent from Ivy) for frontend.
A framework stack for TDD in Ivy, I would also like to know.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately project referenced requires another xtst_ria project from development svn. As far as i understand the idea, project purpose is to supply test runtime environment for web services and callable sub processes. The 'normal' processes are out of the scope.

To the comment about unit and functional tests before deployment of a project:

There is a something similar like a test framework for processes:

But no guarantees if it works as intended. For unit tests of java clasees you can use JUnit, as usual.

Is there some automation to run a unit tests/functional tests (i.e. before project deployment)?

For example in a unit test (JUnit) a method XYZ() has to be tested. But inside of its method is a call of logger(ch.ivyteam.log.Logger). If unit tests run outside of Ivy environment, Logger should be mocked, to not distort the results of a test. That was ment.
Inside of processes (f.e. functional) we try to implement other "test processes", to test transformation of data inside of particular-processes (sub-processes). We call them (test processes) from outside and they are only for testing purposes. Like unit tests with asserts.

In my test case i am trying to implement, intention is to check if a particular session method called with parameters expected. Is it what you mean by mocking Ivy.*?

Module testing (processes), Mocking (Ivy.*) and high Test Coverage, as a goal (unit, integration), are actual topics.

Any ideas are welcome.
