Java-Specific Testing Tools
Test Mentor - Java Edition
Description:Test Mentor – Java Edition is an automated Java
component testing solution that serves as a bridge between testers and
developers, so developers and testers can collaborate on component testing,
using test representations that they are comfortable with. Java components are
business objects, which may consist of anything from a single class to an entire
framework. These objects implement rules according to developers’ interpretation
of the product requirements, which may not always be correct. Test Mentor’s
approach to testing components is to exercise component functionality in the
same way that components are intended to be used. Components whose services are
tested this way are stable and present few surprises.
