Best way to unit test jsf 2.0 Managed Bean

Question

What is the most effective way of unit testing JSF 2.0 managed beans. I have seen JSFUnit from JBoss but it looks like its for testing the components in the facelets pages but not the managed beans themselves.

I want to find a way to effectively unit test only the managed beans.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Set up your managed beans so that all their dependencies are injected as managed properties via setters. Then you can manually inject mocks or stubs in your unit tests.

Answer 2

JSFUnit is another alternative
