boundary value
analysis A test case development technique that entails developing additional test cases
based on the boundaries defined by previously categorized equivalence
classes.
class The prototype for an object in an object-oriented language. A class might also
be considered a set of objects which share a common structure and behavior.
The structure of a class is determined by the class variables that represent the
state of an object of that class and the behavior is given by a set of methods
associated with the class. See also classes.
classes Classes are related in a class hierarchy. One class might be a specialization (a
subclass) of another (one of its superclasses), may be composed of other
classes, or might use other classes in a client-server relationship. See also class.
compatibility rules Define the criteria a Java technology implementation must meet to be certified
as “compatible” with the technology specification. See also compatibility
testing.
compatibility testing The process of testing an implementation to make sure it is compatible with
the corresponding Java specification. A suite of tests contained in a Technology
Compatibility Kit (TCK) is typically used to test that the implementation meets
and passes all of the compatibility rules of that specification.
configuration Information about your computing environment required to execute a
Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) test suite. The JavaTest harness uses a
configuration interview to collect and store configuration information.
Configuration Editor The dialog box used by the JavaTest harness to present the configuration
interview.
configuration
interview A series of questions displayed by the JavaTest harness to gather information
from the user about the computing environment in which the TCK is being
run. This information is used to produce a test environment that the JavaTest
harness uses to execute tests.
configuration
templates Files used by the JavaTest harness to configure individual test runs. The
JavaTest harness uses the file name extension *.jti to store test harness
configuration templates.
configuration value Information about your computing environment required to execute a TCK test
or tests. The JavaTest harness uses a configuration interview to collect
configuration values.
