What the exam expects
- Enable the MUnit plugin and its dependencies in a Mule application build.
- Activate managed plugin configuration in child projects.
- Select suites, named tests or tagged groups without confusing selectors.
- Distinguish missing tests, skipped tests and insufficient coverage.
- Control test properties, runtime selection and dynamic ports.
- Retain useful diagnostic output from automated test runs.
Suite is an XML collection of tests; goal is a plugin operation; phase is a Maven lifecycle stage; coverage measures executed application processors; tag groups tests; system property supplies a named value to the test run (Test structure, Plugin, Coverage).
Key facts
Activation
- Detail
- Children reference the managed plugin under build plugins.
Named test selector
- Detail
#separates suite and test expressions.
Tag selection
- Detail
- Configure
munitTagsor usemunit.tags.
Empty-run policy
- Detail
- Disabling no-test failure does not disable future test execution.
Undefined threshold
- Detail
-1means no requirement at that coverage level.
Failure enforcement
- Detail
failBuildcontrols whether missed defined levels fail the build.
Excluded coverage
- Detail
- Ignored flows do not contribute to measured processor totals.
Property priority
- Detail
- Same-named command-line
-Dvalues take priority.
- Why can test-result summaries remain visible after suite output redirection is enabled?
- When diagnostic files must follow the build directory, how can their destination be expressed?
- How can output not associated with a particular suite be exposed during diagnosis?
