Fitster  an interactive Framework for Integrated Testing

Create a Java project:

Create a new Java Project in Eclipse as usual.

Create or Import a FitDocument:

You can create a new FitDocument from scratch:

You can import existing FitDocuments into your project. Once the document is created/imported you can view it in the browser:

Edit the FitDocument:

Open the FitDocument in the FitDocument Editor. The fit tests are presented in table form and the tables are fully editable.

Create a New Fixture:

A Fixture is just a java class so just create a new java class within Eclipse as usual. Remember to add the Fit or FitLibrary jars to your project. [Note: Here we imported the source from Fit examples]

Run the Fit Tests:

Use the context menu and select 'Run All Fixtures'.

The test table will be updated with the results.

In the Works:

• Running the fit documents in a folder.
• Implementing the full table editing similar to a spreadsheet.
• A standalone simplified version for test writing and running meant for non-programmers.
• Integration to the Eclipse platform [Search, Build, Debug, etc.]
• Suggestions that you may have.

Thank You:

I would like to thank the following:

• Ward Cunningham for his vision, guidance and continual support.
• Rick Mugridge for his insightful views about the project, pointing me in different directions and moral support.
• The fit-dev group for the lively discussions and help.
• Various persons on the Eclipse Foundation newsgroups for helping me decipher how to program Fitster.
• My aunt, Noemi Masters, for letting me stay over and raid the fridge.
