Modules FEST is composed of various modules, all of them can be used with TestNG or JUnit. Swing Module: * DSL-oriented API for functional Swing GUI testing * Simulation of user-generated events and reliable GUI component lookup * Easy-to-use and powerful API that simplifies creation and maintenance of Swing GUI functional tests: dialog.comboBox("domain").select("Users"); dialog.textBox("username").enterText("alex.ruiz"); dialog.button("ok").click(); dialog.optionPane().requireErrorMessage() .requireMessage("Please enter your password"); * Ability to take screenshots of failed GUI tests and embed them in a HTML test report

Property matching is based on commons-beanutils as documented in Standard JavaBeans.

Unitils helps you in writing simple and maintainable unit tests with JUnit or TestNG . It glues together some widely used test libraries like DbUnit and EasyMock and offers integration with Spring and Hibernate . Unitils encourages applying good practices and unit testing guidelines. The ideas behind the code are based on the authors' concrete experience on enterprise projects. Unitils offers following features * Equality assertion through reflection, with options like ignoring Java default/null values and ignoring order of collections * Support for database testing involving test data management with DbUnit, automatic maintenance of unit test databases and automatic constraints disabling * Hibernate integration features such as session management and testing the mapping with the database * Integration with Spring, involving ApplicationContext management and injection of spring managed beans * Integration with EasyMock and injection of mocks into other objects

The compiled bytecode for the library is analyzed and metrics are calculated for the testability of individual classes. Those classes fall into one of three categories - 'excellent', 'good' and 'needs work'. Generally speaking, injectability, mockabiliy and composition are good, and static state is bad. Figures are recursively calculated, but only inside the jar in question. The metrics are a calculation of the skill of the development team in making their classes testable. You cannot use these metrics to say that Tomcat is better than Jetty or vice versa, as the features of each are not taken into account. These metrics will also not tell you whether a particular library will be easy to use or not. It just tells you how dedicated the development team was to making testable software. As we track the changing figures overtime, we can see whether the team in question was dedicated to improvement or not.

Its main goal is to improve test code readability and make maintenance of tests easier. FEST-Assert requires Java SE 5.0 or later and can be used with either JUnit or TestNG.

Unitils builds further on existing libraries like DBUnit and EasyMock and integrates with JUnit and TestNG. Unitils provides general asserion utilities, support for database testing, support for testing with mock objects and offers integration with Spring and Hibernate. It has been designed to offer these services to unit tests in a very configurable and loosely coupled way. As a result, services can be added and extended very easily. Currently Unitils offers following features: * General testing utilities o Equality assertion through reflection, with different options like ignoring Java default/null values and ignoring order of collections * Database testing utilities o Automatic maintenance and constraints disabling of unit test databases + Support for Oracle, Hsqldb, MySql, DB2, Postgresql and Derby o Simplify unit test database connection setup o Simplify insertion of test data with DBUnit o Simplify Hibernate session management for unit testing o Automatically test the mapping of Hibernate mapped objects with the database o Manage transactions during unit testing * Mock object utilities o Simplify EasyMock mock object creation o Simplify mock object injection o EasyMock argument matching using reflection equality * Spring integration o ApplicationContext configuration and easy injection of spring managed beans into a unit test o Support for using a Spring-configured Hibernate SessionFactory in unit tests. The project started begin 2006 from an Ordina J-Technologies discussion group on unit testing. The result was a list of guidelines and Unitils emerged in an attempt to write code to support these guidelines. Documentation

The problem is that many Java applications are too brittle to extend and enhance easily. Attempts to fix or extend - no matter how carefully done - can introduce more bugs and more complexity. With a full suite of characterization tests generated by JUnit Factory you can bring your legacy code under control. Download our free plug-in for Eclipse to get started.

It is common for a single interface or abstract class to have many different descendants or implementations. A good example of this scenario is the Strategy Pattern which relies heavily on many implementations of the same interface. It is desirable to have one test suite that tests functional compliance with the interface that could be applied to each of the implementing classes.

It gives you the confidence to change code safe in the knowledge that if something breaks you'll know about it. Except for those bits you don't know how to test. Until now XML has been one of them. Oh sure you can use "<stuff></stuff>".equals("<stuff></stuff>"); but is that really gonna work when some joker decides to output a <stuff/>? -- damned right it's not ;-)

In this installment of Automation for the people, development automation expert Paul Duvall covers some of the various types of automated developer tests you can run with every source code change. Paul provides examples of Selenium, DbUnit, and JUnitPerf tests that can help you discover application problems early -- that is, if they're run often.

JUnitPerf is a collection of JUnit test decorators used to measure the performance and scalability of functionality contained within existing JUnit tests.
