| Jester is a simple, lightweight, flexible, scalable, automatic, open source tool for rigorous continuous
testing of Java systems. Jester uses a tree approach to test organization, allowing you to visually and physically manage large numbers of tests easily. Fixture properties, exception policy, inheritance and run options are supported. It may be run with a GUI for personal use or headless to allow batch runs or use in a debugger. Jester is a product of the JSL Study Group of Atlanta, illustrating the appropriate use of process, OO, Java, and most importantly, teamwork. |
This frame document requires at least 1024 by 768 resolution, which serious users of this product have. You may need to resize or maximize your browser to to see this the best. Then drag the vertical bar as necessary.
We strongly believe in giving you all the information behind development of Jester. This way you can see why we did what we did, and have greater confidence in the product due to greater understanding of our rationale.
Jester was developed using Mini Process 3. This document is part of that process.
Jester runs on Java 1.1 and up, and was compiled with Java 1.1.8.
Please realize Jester is still in early development. Good luck with it. Be sure to have fun.... :-)

We used Mini Process 3 (MP3) in developing Jester. MP3 is a superset of Mini Process 2. Above is the conceptual model of the process. You can relate the flowchart portion to our Work Products to see where they fit in the process. To print this on a separate page, here's the image.
