Testing tools
Here are my top ‘8 tools to help you with Java testing
(& Frameworks)’.
1. JTest
• JTest also known as ‘Parasoft JTest’ is an automated Java software testing.
• JTest includes functionality for Unit test-case generation and execution, static code analysis, data flow static analysis, and
metrics analysis, regression testing, run-time error detection.
• There are also features that allow you to peer code review process automation and run-time error detection for e.g.: Race
conditions, exceptions, resource and memory leaks, security attack vulnerabilities.
2. Arquillian
• Arquillian is a highly innovative and extendible testing platform for JVM that allows developers to easily create automated
integration.
• It allows you to run test in the run-time so you don’t have to manage the run-time from the test (or the build ).
• It is also capable of deploying archive into containers and execute tests in the containers and capture results and create
reports.
3. The Grinder
• ‘The Grinder’ is a Java load testing framework.
• The Grinder can Load test on anything that has a Java API.
• The test scripts are written in the powerful Jython and Clojure languages.
• It is freely available under a BSD-style open-source license.
4. JUnit
• JUnit is a unit testing framework designed for the Java programming language. JUnit has played an important role in the
development of test-driven development frameworks. It is one of a family of unit testing frameworks which is
collectively known as the xUnit that originated with SUnit.
• JUnit is linked as a JAR at compile-time and can be used to write repeatable tests.
5. JWalk
• JWalk is designed as a unit testing toolkit for the Java programming language.
• It is capable of testing conformance to a lazy specification, by static and dynamic analysis, and from hints by the
programmer behind the code.
6. Mockito
• Mockito is designed as a open source testing framework for Java which is available under a MIT License.
• Mockito allows programmers to create and test double objects (mock objects) in automated unit tests for the purpose of
Test-driven Development (TDD) or Behavior Driven Development (BDD).
7. Powermock
• PowerMock is a Java Framework for unit testing of source code.
• It is used to test for removal of static initializes, constructors, final classes and methods and private methods.
• It is available under an open source Apache License 2.0
8. TestNG
• TestNG is a testing framework designed for the Java programming language and inspired by JUnit and NUnit.
• TestNG was primarily designed to cover a wider range of test categories such as unit, functional, end-to-end, integration,
etc.
• TestNG is supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins such as Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, etc
