+== Running The Tests
+
+The most basic way of running the tests is to do so as part of the build. The
command line for that is:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+mvn -DskipIntegrationTests=false clean verify package
+----
+
+The test code in the project is rather flexible and allow a different range of
options regarding the environment,
+tools, etc that can be used. For example, to use an external (remote) Kafka
broker:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+mvn -Dkafka.bootstrap.servers=host1:port -Dkafka.instance.type=remote
-DskipIntegrationTests=false clean verify package

+Not only Kafka, but also other external infrastructure can be used for the
tests. To do so, you must set properties

local container and use existing

remote testing:

+[#writing-new-tests]
+== Writing New Tests
+
+The Camel Kafka Connector aim to replicate as closely as possible the
scenarios on which the connectors will be run. In
+order to achieve that, the code tries to replicate the infrastructure on which
the connectors run. This means that
+every integration test launches a Kafka and Zookeeper instance, the connector
under test as well as the infrastructure
+required for the connector to run.
+
+The lifecycle for Camel and Kafka environments is handled in the test
lifecycle and already implemented. Therefore,
+new tests usually have to implement support for two things: the infrastructure
required for the connector to run and
+the test logic.
+
+=== Simulating the Test Infrastructure
+
+When implementing a new integration test, the first step is to identify how to
simulate the sink or source
+infrastructure that is needed to run the test. In general, the integration
test leverages the features provided by the
+project https://www.testcontainers.org/[TestContainers] and uses container
images to simulate the environments.
+
+The test code abstracts the provisioning of test environments behind service
classes (i.e.: JMSService, JDBCService,
+etc). The purpose of the service class is to abstract the both the type
service (i.e.: Kafka, Strimzi, etc) and
+the location of the service (i.e.: remote, local, etc). This provides
flexibility to test the connector under different
+circumstances (ie.: using a remote JMS broker or using a local JMS broker
running in a container managed by
+TestContainers). It makes it easier to hit edge cases as well as try different
operating scenarios (ie.: higher
+latency, slow backends, etc).
+
+JUnit 5 manages the lifecycle of the services, therefore each service must be
a JUnit 5 compliant extension. The exact
+extension point that a service must extend is specific to each service. The
JUnit 5
+https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/[documentation] is the
reference for the extension points.
+
+In general, the services should aim to minimize the test execution time and
resource usage when running. As such,
+the
https://junit.org/junit5/docs/5.1.1/api/org/junit/jupiter/api/extension/BeforeAllCallback.html[BeforeAllCallback]
+and
https://junit.org/junit5/docs/5.1.1/api/org/junit/jupiter/api/extension/AfterAllCallback.html[AfterAllCallback]
+should be the preferred extensions whenever possible because they allow the
instance of the infrastructure to be static
+throughout the test execution.
+
+Instantiation of clients for the service classes can be handled in the Service
classes whenever is sensible to do so.
+For example, when handling credentials or different communication protocols
that are determined by the service, it
+might make sense to abstract that logic from the test code.
+
+A specialized service factory class is responsible for creating the service
according to runtime parameters and/or
+other test scenarios constraints. When a service allow different service types
or locations to be selected, this
+should be done via command line properties (`-D<property.name>=<value>`). For
example, when allowing a service to choose
+between running as a local container or as remote instance, a property in the
format `<name>.instance.type` should be
+handled. Additional runtime parameters used in different scenarios, should be
handled as `<name>.<parameter>`.
+
+When a container image is not available via TestContainers, tests can provide
their own implementation using officially
+available images. The license must be compatible with Apache 2.0. If an
official image is not available, a Dockerfile
+to build the service can be provided. The Dockerfile should try to minimize
the container size and resource usage
+whenever possible.
+
+
+=== Writing the Test Logic
+
+There are 2 important bits required to write the test logic. The first one is
a property factory that creates the
+connector specific properties. It stores information such as the sink or
source queue, connector classes, converters
+and connector specific parameters.
+
+The properties factories should specialize either the
https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/0b0b6267e9472e886f74d4a579f5535b7b95dac4/tests/itests-common/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/common/SinkConnectorPropertyFactory.java[SinkConnectorPropertyFactory]
class or the
+https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/0b0b6267e9472e886f74d4a579f5535b7b95dac4/tests/itests-common/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/common/SourceConnectorPropertyFactory.java[SourceConnectorPropertyFactory]
+class. The base classes provide the common methods applicable to all
situations. The property factory should provide a
+static method called `basic`. This method should create the most basic
connector property factory for the connector to
+run. If needed, the property factory for the
https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/0b0b6267e9472e886f74d4a579f5535b7b95dac4/tests/itests-mongodb/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/mongodb/sink/CamelMongoDBPropertyFactory.java#L46[CamelMongoDBPropertyFactory]
+one can be used as a reference.
+
+The connector property factory, should, ideally, also provide a method that
allows setup sink or source URLs. Even
+though this is not encouraged for regular usage of the connector, it is a good
way to spot differences when the
+connector is configured via properties versus when it is configured via URL.
The connector config classes for each
+connector (ie.: those classes whose name end with ConnectorConfig) provide the
list of supported configurations.
+
+The test class should specialize the
https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/0b0b6267e9472e886f74d4a579f5535b7b95dac4/tests/itests-common/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/common/AbstractKafkaTest.java[AbstractKafkaTest]
+class. Every specialization of that class must provide a `getConnectorsInTest`
method that provides an array
+with the name of the connectors being test. During the test execution, the
contents of this array is used to traverse
+the project directory and find the connector classes. This is required because
Kafka Connect handles the classpath
+separately and loads the connector classes through the plugin.path setting.
Check the comments on the
+https://github.com/apache/camel-kafka-connector/blob/0b0b6267e9472e886f74d4a579f5535b7b95dac4/tests/itests-common/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/common/PluginPathHelper.java#L137[pluginPaths]
+methods of the PluginPathHelper for additional details.
+
+As a general rule, test should ensure as much isolation of the test classpath
and the runtime classpath as possible.
+Not only this allows us to catch possible classpath issues, but also conflicts
between connector dependencies and
+Kafka's Connect own runtime libraries.
+
+The test code should avoid printing data to the stdout. Instead, the default
project logger should be used. Every
+connector module has its own log file. Tests for new connectors should ensure
that the relevant information is logged.
