There are currently no unit tests of any of the public methods in the java classes inside the mil.nga.giat.geowave.adapter.raster.plugin package. These are the essential components that interface between the geowave raster data adapter and GeoServer (through GeoServer’s extension point GridFormatFactorySpi). There is a format factory that we add for reading GeoTiff’s using a popular library called GDAL. Ignore the GDAL* classes and focus on the GeoWave* classes in this package. Unit testing of the GDAL* classes can be added can be added time permitting if one is interested. The GeoWaveGTRasterFormatFactory and GeoWaveGTRasterFormat covers using GeoWave within GeoServer which is an important capability.
