Thunderforce's test framework uses XULRunner for both unit and integration testing.
Test Architecture - Deployment View
The Thunderforce test framework exists as a Thunderbird extension in the tests folder in Subversion. Within that folder, test suites exist in the content subfolder with a file name that equals the name of the XPCOM component that the test suite tests. Each test suite is included in the test framework by being included as a <script/> line in testrunner.xul.
Running Tests
To run tests, create the Eclipse run configurations for tests and then run those. Those configurations use the "-thunderforceTest Label" command line option in the Thunderforce testing extension to run basic, normal, extra, or all tests. By default, running with the -thunderforceTest option prevents Thunderbird's main user interface from being displayed, but it's possible to force Thunderbird to show with the -thunderforceRunThunderbird command line option. The nsThunderforceTestCommandLine.js file handles the command line options for Thunderforce testing.
