BitvUnit is an open source accessibility testing library that makes it easy to automate accessibility checking for pages and applications that run in a web browser. Read more about it in the official documentation available at http://bitvunit.codescape.de!
Visit the website under http://bitvunit.codescape.de and find out how to download or reference from your project and implement tests runs in your application.
This section holds information that helps developers to contribute to BitvUnit and add functionality, build the software or do some housekeeping.
To build the latest version of the library checkout the sources and run mvn install
on your local machine. This will create and install the latest version of the library to your local maven repository.
To implement a new rule you can run the Groovy based wizard with the command groovy bitvunit.groovy create-rule
from the root folder of the project. It prompts for your full name to be listed in the JavaDoc and the name for your new rule. Valid names must start with an uppercase letter, contain only characters and end with the word Rule
.
After that you can choose from one of the existing rule categories and the wizard will set everything up. You are ready to implement the test cases and the rule itself!
Run mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
to produce a list of all dependencies where a newer versions exists. Update POMs to use new dependency versions where accurate. Release candidates and milestone releases should be used carefully. After that run mvn verify
to make sure everything works fine with the new versions of the dependencies.
First run mvn clean test
and verify that all test are running. After a sucessful build run mvn release:prepare
and set the release version (e.g.: 0.5.0), the SCM tag (e.g.: v0.5.0) and the development version (e.g.: 0.6.0-SNAPSHOT).
Verify the results and run mvn release:perform
if everything is looking fine. Login at https://oss.sonatype.org and verify that the generated artifacts in the Staging Repository
are okay. Close
the Build in the Staging Repository
and then Release
the new version to Maven Central.
