TestLink is a open source web based TEST MANAGEMENT and test EXECUTION system under the GPL license (i.e. free to use). The tool enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases as well as organize them into test plans. These test plans allow team members to execute test cases and track test results dynamically, generate reports, trace software requirements, prioritize and assign.
The tool is based on PHP, MySQL, and includes several other open source tools. We support interface to Bug tracking systems as is Bugzilla or Mantis.
a tool for measuring code metrics of Java applications. Contrary to other tools, Meaxure works with Java source files instead of class files and aims to be extendable. Currently Meaxure supports common metrics like lines of code, number of classes, number of methods or cyclomatic complexity. Due to it's reliance on source files it does not support metrics which cannot be calculated from individual source files like depth of inheritance tree or number of children.
Meaxure supports reporting violations to certain metrics. Rules for violations can be specified using XPath expressions,
There are a number of open-source unit testing tools available. So why another one?
Well, this one addresses a specific need - an easy way to test XML-based servers. If you have a server that communicates with clients via XML messages, you can end up putting a lot of effort into using one of the unit-testing frameworks to test all the messages. Just think of all the code needed to set up communications, construct messages, and verify responses.
A simple alternative is to document XML messages and expected responses, without having to write any code. Let XmlMessageTest send each XML message to the server, verify returned messages against expected results, and produce a simple report of test results.
XmlMessageTest is written in Java and should be able to run any Java-enabled platform. It's been tested on Windows XP and Linux. It can be easily integrated into your build process.
Dependometer is a java based analysis tool for java projects.
Features are:
Use a logical architecture description in terms of Layers and Subsystems and their physical mapping (n Packages implement a Subsystem) and check logical architecture violations.
* Analyze the dependency architecture between Layers, Subsystems, Packages, Compilation Units (Java files) and Types (Classes and Interfaces)
* Calculate a bunch of metrics for all elements - this includes metrics from John Lakos, Robert C. Martin and Craig Larman
* Analyze cycles between elements
* Define thresholds and receive feedback upon their violation
Simulate via simple refactoring definitions and cutting unwanted dependencies changes to the physical structure possibly enhancing refactoring.
Create a complete HTML presentation via xslt. This provides browsing capabilities from Layer (logical element) to Compilation Unit (physical element) for a discussion which physical elements cause the logical architecture to break.
Phantastic!
"EclEmma is a free Java code coverage tool for Eclipse, available under the Eclipse Public License. Internally it is based on the great EMMA Java code coverage tool, trying to adopt EMMA's philosophy for the Eclipse workbench:
* Fast develop/test cycle: Launches from within the workbench like JUnit test runs can directly be analyzed for code coverage.
* Rich coverage analysis: Coverage results are immediately summarized and highlighted in the Java source code editors.
* Non-invasive: EclEmma does not require modifying your projects or performing any other setup.
The Eclipse integration has its focus on supporting the individual developer in an highly interactive way.
The update site for EclEmma is http://update.eclemma.org/."
Nice article on IBM deveWorks: Ready to step up to the plate and hit a home run with your developer testing activities? 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.
iValidator is a framework for XML-based test automation of complex test scenarios. iValidator is completely written in Java. The framework is available under an open source licence.
Behaviour-driven development (BDD) is an evolution of test-driven development (TDD) and acceptance-test driven design, and is intended to make these practices more accessible and intuitive to newcomers and experts alike.
