Open Source Java Software Testing Tools

The 5th major version of the programmer-friendly testing framework for Java and the JVM. JUnit 5 is the next generation of JUnit. The goal is to create an up-to-date foundation for developer-side testing on the JVM. This includes focusing on Java 8 and above, as well as enabling many different styles of testing. Official CI build server for JUnit 5. Used to perform quick checks on submitted pull requests and for build matrices including the latest released OpenJDK and early access builds of the next OpenJDK. The JUnit Platform serves as a foundation for launching testing frameworks on the JVM. It also defines the TestEngine API for developing a testing framework that runs on the platform. Furthermore, the platform provides a Console Launcher to launch the platform from the command line and the JUnit Platform Suite Engine for running a custom test suite using one or more test engines on the platform. First-class support for the JUnit Platform also exists in popular IDEs.

JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. You need to have a JDK installed and a text editor. (In general it is recommended to use a build tool for building your software and running the tests.). JUnit features include assertions for testing expected results, test fixtures for sharing common test data, test runners for running tests. JUnit was originally written by Erich Gamma and Kent Beck. JUnit is Open Source Software, released under the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0. JUnit celebrates programmers testing their own software. In this spirit, bugs, patches, and feature requests that include JUnit tests have a better chance of being addressed than those without.

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

Mockito downloads and instructions for setting up Maven, Gradle and other build systems are available from the Central Repository and Bintray. Mockito 3.x requires Java 8, but otherwise doesn’t introduce any breaking changes compared to the 2.x series. Mockito 2.25.0 had an important feature added for anyone using mockito-inline. In particular anyone using Kotlin (which demands using mockito-inline) and PowerMock (which exacerbates the problem even more) will want to add this to all of their test classes to avoid a large memory leak. Fancy getting world-wide visibility and building up an eternal fame of an OSS contributor? Use the latest version! Hack and experiment. Speak up at the mailing list. Mockito is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API. Mockito doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verification errors.

It has the best of best ideas and practices from the community to keep it super simple, and the adoption is rapidly growing among the developer/tester community. Zerocode is a modern lightweight, simple and extensible open-source framework for writing test intentions in simple JSON or YAML format that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. Put simply, Zerocode alleviates pain and brings simplicity to modern API automation.

Robolectric is the industry-standard unit testing framework for Android. With Robolectric, your tests run in a simulated Android environment inside a JVM, without the overhead of an emulator. Running tests on an Android emulator or device is slow! Building, deploying, and launching the app often takes a minute or more. That’s no way to do TDD, there must be a better way. Robolectric is a framework that brings fast and reliable unit tests to Android. Tests run inside the JVM on your workstation in seconds. Robolectric is built using Gradle. Both IntelliJ and Android Studio can import the top-level build.gradle file and will automatically generate their project files from it. Robolectric supports running tests against multiple Android API levels. The work it must do to support each API level is slightly different, so its shadows are built separately for each. If you would like to live on the bleeding edge, you can try running against a snapshot build.

FitLibrary provides general-purpose fixtures (and runners) for storytests with Fit and FitNesse. DoFixture provides an elegant way of organising storytests and expressing workflow.

This framework supports a wide variety of model-based GUI testing techniques. The innovation lies in the architecture of GUITAR, which uses plug-ins to support flexibility and extensibility. Software developers and quality assurance engineers may use this architecture to create new toolchains, new workflows based on the toolchains, and plug in a variety of measurement tools to conduct GUI testing. More detail is presented in this publication: GUITAR: An Innovative Tool for Automated Testing of GUI-driven Software. Bao N. Nguyen, Bryan Robbins, Ishan Banerjee, and Atif Memon. Automated Software Engineering Journal. p.21, 1. 2014
