8 Java ME TCK Framework Developer’s Guide • July 2007
An agent is a separate program that works in conjunction with the harness to run
tests on the device.
In CDC, the agent is started once, and when started, in a loop, it uses the
communication channel to the harness to download the test classes and to execute
them on the device, and then reports back the results. In CLDC and MIDP
configurations, the execution server supplies the test bundle (it includes the test
agent and the tests) and the device’s AMS fetches the bundle and then executes
the test agent which in turn executes the bundled tests and reports the results
back to the harness.
■ Tests - Used in CLDC, MIDP, and CDC Automated, Distributed, and OTA test
configurations.
The source code and any accompanying information that exercise a particular
feature, or part of a feature, of a technology implementation to make sure that the
feature complies with the Java specification. A single test can contain multiple test
cases. Accompanying information can include test documentation, auxiliary data
files, or other resources required by the source code. Tests correspond to
assertions of the specification.
Test Types
The developer uses the Framework resources for and organizes the tests based on
the test type or testing function (for example, automated tests must be grouped
separately from interactive tests because they use different Framework resources).
TABLE 1-1 presents a simple matrix of the different test configurations and the types
of tests that the Framework resources support.
