Purpose

Jaccept is a extension to JUnit adding increased test information and control.

Added functionality includes:

• Possibility of specifing test information on suite/testcase/test/teststep level.
• Controlling the progress of the test execution enabling manual interactions.
• Increased monitoring of the test execution.
• Initially writing description-only tests, without any functionality (testspecification), later adding testcode.

One of the consequences of Jaccepts exposure of test execution and thereby application interaction, is that it is well suited for demonstrating application interactions which may othervise be difficult to visualize.

Design

The test execution is monitored and controlled by a central testmanager, which may also collect addditional information from other testframework components, testfacades, systemlistener etc.

The TestManager functions as a meditor between the running tests, and any components interested in monitoring or controlling the test execution (Test clients).

Clients

The testmanager exposes an interface for accessing these information/control features. Currently 2 clients are included which use this interface.

TestGUI

Graphical representation of the features exposed by the TestManager.

This allows the tester to:

• Select whether teststimuli should be automatically generated.
• Select whether testvalidating should be automatically performed.
• Displays specified teststimuli/results
• Displays information from other testframework hooks, dumps of system input/output/logs etc.
