RE: [Junit-devel] Java API automated regresion testing tool

[Michael S. <msi...@si...>]

Dean:

The article describes one possible approach to automation where you add
some hooks to your code to automatically generate tests that are
semantically meaningful, and independent of the GUI.=20

You can easily adapt this to generate tests for any test framework such
as JUnit or FIT. I have used it for both.=20

Note that this approach is only practical if the application has been
developed with clear model-view separation. You should be able to
execute substantial parts of your application (ideally all of it)
"headless".
