2 Java ME TCK Framework Developer’s Guide • July 2007
Note – The TCK Project Planning Guide and the Java Technology Test Suite Development
Guide documents were originally developed as part of a product used by the Java
Community Process (JCP) Specification Leads. For that reason, these documents
refer to JCP procedures that might not apply to a test developer’s Framework
project.
After becoming familiar with TCK and test suite components and development
processes, test developers can begin using this Developer’s Guide to write tests and
create Java ME technology test suites that use Framework resources.
To help familiarize test developers new to the Framework with the process of
writing tests and building test suites, the chapters in this Developer’s Guide are
presented in the following sequence that begins with examples of simple tasks (such
as writing a simple test and updating a test suite) and progressively introduces the
more complex tasks of creating custom test suites, tests, and test configurations:
■ Chapter 2 describes how to write a simple test that can be added to an existing
test suite (provided by the Framework) and run by the harness.
■ Chapter 3 describes how to use Framework resources when constructing a custom
test suite and test configuration.
■ Chapter 4 describes how to use Framework resources when writing different
types of tests.
In addition to the preceding chapters, the following appendices of this guide
provide additional information useful to test developers when creating custom tests
and test suites for Java ME technology implementations:
■ Appendix A describes the test APIs for different types of tests.
■ Appendix B describes the contents of the Framework bundle, the Framework
resources, and the Framework components.
■ Appendix C provides a summary of Framework keywords and test description
fields.
Test developers can also refer to the JavaTest Architect’s Guide for more in-depth
explanations about creating test suites that run on the JavaTest harness. TheJavaTest
Architect’s Guide is divided into two parts. Part I, The Basics, is useful for aspiring test
suite architects and includes basic topics such as a tutorial that introduces the
JavaTest GUI as well as descriptions of test suite components and basic processes of
creating test suites, tests, and configuration interviews that work with the JavaTest
harness. Part II, Advanced Topics, includes more in-depth information about
working with the JavaTest harness such as developing test scripts that run tests and
using JavaTest harness standard commands that configure an environment for
running test suites on specific test platforms.
