At Safe we have a very mature test suite for testing not only complete workspaces, but also individual transformers, readers, writers, user interface components, code units and more. Read more about how we maintain version and workspace compatibility in this article:

https://knowledge.safe.com/content/kbentry/819/fme-versions-and-workspace-compatibility.html

The infrastructure we use is well developed, but the concept is fairly simple. FME Server is used to automate the running of a series of tests. Each test produces a result, which is then compared to a previous approved result. Any change detected should be investigated.

 

The Creator, Recorder, Player, ChangeDetector, and FMEServerJobSubmitter transformers are probably going to useful in creating your own test suite.

 

I wonder what other people have done?
