Connection Strategy

[ambu550]

All modules connect to the service.

1. Hold safe connections (like RedisClient, ActiveMQJMSConnectionFactory, etc) throughout the entire test cycle.
2. It is mandatory to close the connection after tests by using the following in the helper: Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook();
3. Some connection options have overrided default values ​​(for example, a connection timeout of 2000 ms — there is no point in using the driver's default 120-second timeout and keeping the test running).
4. HikariCP is used for SQL databases.
5. Starting with core version 1.5.0, it is possible to pass connection parameters/options in the config file (see the module descriptions for details).
   • Application priority:
     1. YAML configuration options
     2. Connection string options (if supported)
     3. Default bugreaper settings
     4. Driver defaults
