In the real world, applications keep growing in size and complexity, and change frequently; thus, the necessity for continuous testing constantly increases.
Tutorial Details:
Extreme programming (XP) prescribes automated acceptance testing so that tests can be run often, while facilitating regression testing at a low cost. XP also insists that the customers specify the acceptance tests and keep them updated as the requirements change, and use these tests for test-driven development (TDD).
Automated unit tests are quite common nowadays; however, most acceptance tests remain manual. Many commercial test automation tools are available, but their cost and required effort are so high that most project teams resort to doing the acceptance testing manually. The major roadblock to automating user acceptance testing has been the nonavailability of easy-to-use tools and frameworks. In this article, I show you how the Framework for Integrated Test (Fit) makes it easy to automate acceptance tests; it can also be used as an effective tool for communication and collaboration between users and developers.
Framework for Integrated Test (Fit) is an open source framework for user acceptance testing, and a tool for enhancing the communication and collaboration between analysts and developers. Fit lets analysts write acceptance tests using simple HTML tables. Developers write fixtures to link the test cases with the actual system itself. Fit compares these test cases, written using HTML tables, with actual values, returned by the system using fixtures, and highlights the results with colors and annotations.
Just two steps are required to automate user acceptance tests using Fit:
Express a test case in the form of a Fit table
Write the glue code in Java, called a fixture, that bridges the test case and system under test
