Answer 1

See the examples in your sample applications.

One of the ready-provided examples is at ${PLAY_FRAMEWORK}/samples/java/computer-database/test/FunctionalTest.java, quoting below:

import org.junit.*;

import java.util.*;

import play.mvc.*;
import play.test.*;
import play.libs.F.*;

import static play.test.Helpers.*;
import static org.fest.assertions.Assertions.*;

public class FunctionalTest {

    @Test
    public void redirectHomePage() {
        running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               Result result = callAction(controllers.routes.ref.Application.index());

               assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(SEE_OTHER);
               assertThat(redirectLocation(result)).isEqualTo("/computers");
           }
        });
    }

    @Test
    public void listComputersOnTheFirstPage() {
        running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               Result result = callAction(controllers.routes.ref.Application.list(0, "name", "asc", ""));

               assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(OK);
               assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("574 computers found");
           }
        });
    }

    @Test
    public void filterComputerByName() {
        running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               Result result = callAction(controllers.routes.ref.Application.list(0, "name", "asc", "Apple"));

               assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(OK);
               assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("13 computers found");
           }
        });
    }

    @Test
    public void createANewComputer() {
        running(fakeApplication(), new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                Result result = callAction(controllers.routes.ref.Application.save());

                assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(BAD_REQUEST);

                Map<String,String> data = new HashMap<String,String>();
                data.put("name", "FooBar");
                data.put("introduced", "badbadbad");
                data.put("company.id", "1");

                result = callAction(
                    controllers.routes.ref.Application.save(), 
                    fakeRequest().withFormUrlEncodedBody(data)
                );

                assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(BAD_REQUEST);
                assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("<option value=\"1\" selected>Apple Inc.</option>");
                assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("<input type=\"text\" id=\"introduced\" name=\"introduced\" value=\"badbadbad\" >");
                assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("<input type=\"text\" id=\"name\" name=\"name\" value=\"FooBar\" >");

                data.put("introduced", "2011-12-24");

                result = callAction(
                    controllers.routes.ref.Application.save(), 
                    fakeRequest().withFormUrlEncodedBody(data)
                );

                assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(SEE_OTHER);
                assertThat(redirectLocation(result)).isEqualTo("/computers");
                assertThat(flash(result).get("success")).isEqualTo("Computer FooBar has been created");

                result = callAction(controllers.routes.ref.Application.list(0, "name", "asc", "FooBar"));
                assertThat(status(result)).isEqualTo(OK);
                assertThat(contentAsString(result)).contains("One computer found");

            }
        });
    }

}

play.test.FunctionalTest does not exist.

How to write a functiona test should read the document here.

Testing your application

Test source files must be placed in your application’s test folder. You can run tests from the Play console using the test and test-only tasks.

Using JUnit

The default way to test a Play 2 application is with [[JUnit| http://www.junit.org/]].

``` package test;

import org.junit.*;

import play.mvc.; import play.test.; import play.libs.F.*;

import static play.test.Helpers.; import static org.fest.assertions.Assertions.;

public class SimpleTest {

@Test 
public void simpleCheck() {
    int a = 1 + 1;
    assertThat(a).isEqualTo(2);
}

} ```
