Chapter 3 Test Suite Construction 27
Additional examples (Test1.java and Test2.java)can be found in the following Simple
Test Suite directories:
■ SimpleTestSuite/tests/sample/pkg1/
■ SimpleTestSuite/tests/sample/pkg2/
Test Description file
Each subdirectory that contains one or more test classes must also contain a
corresponding test description. The test description is contained in HTML format.
The test description file generally contains the following fields:
■ title - A descriptive string that identifies what the test does.
The title appears in reports and in the harness status window.
■ source - List of source files of the test.
When the test sources are listed in this field, they can be accessed and viewed
from the harness GUI.
■ executeClass- Specifies the name of the test’s executable class file.
It is assumed to be located in the classes directory.
■ keywords - String tokens that can be associated with a given test.
They describe attributes or characteristics of the test (for example, how to execute
the test, and whether it is a positive or negative test). Keywords are often used to
select or deselect tests from a test run. The most common keywords are runtime
and positive. See Chapter 4 for a description of the specific keywords required
for the different types of tests that can compose a test suite.
See Appendix C for a summary list of the Framework test description fields and
keywords.

The classes directory contains all of the compiled test classes and library classes
required to run the tests.
