Proposal for Latka Tag Library
(0) Rationale
Latka is a functional testing suite developed inside the Jakarta Commons subproject. While a good command line tool, it will need more user-friendly interfaces if it is to be used by non-programmers, such as QA engineers. The Latka Tag Library would be a tag-based driver for the Latka functional testing suite, which could be used inside of a Latka webapp for testing websites.
(1) Interaction With Other Packages
The Latka tag library relies on:
- The Latka library, and its dependencies
(2) Initial Source of the Package
There is not yet any source for the package. The source will initially be developed in the Taglibs Sandbox.
(3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources
- CVS Repository - New directory
latka-taglib in the
jakarta-taglibs CVS repository.
- Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general
taglibs-dev@jakarta.apache.org mailing list. To help list
subscribers identify messages of interest, it is suggested that the
message subject of messages about this component be prefixed with
[Latka].
- Bugzilla - New component "Latka Taglib" under the "Taglibs" product
category, with appropriate version identifiers as needed.
- Jyve FAQ - New category "taglibs-latka" (when available).
(4) Initial Committers
The initial committers on the Latka component shall be:
