Overview

XTest is general test framework for Java based products tests. XTest consists from set of utilities, templates, sample configurations and recommendations how to build integrated, flexible and easy to use test environment. The XTest framework is planed to be base for NetBeans testing. XTest is based on open source products like Ant, JUnit, Xalan and NetBeans. More information about XTest, its architecture, and about future plans you can read in XTest Overview document.

Why XTest?

The NetBeans based products tests development and maintenance should be much easier. XTest should enable to make the testing a real integral part of software development (in sense of XP techniques). Even the key required capabilities are already implemented in the above mentioned products (Ant, JUnit, Xalan, NetBeans), some extensions (utilities) are necessarily to integrate them in consistent flexible NetBeans test environment.

How to start with XTest?

The most complete information about XTest features and capabilities can be found in XTest documentation. Remember that XTest has been evolving for a long period of time. Not all documents are applicable for all releases of NetBeans IDE. If you find outdated document, please file a issue or send us an email.
