JUnitServlet is an extension of
JavaUnit (JUnit) that runs tests from a servlet. This allows you to run tests from inside your app server, which is necessary for testing EJBs and a lot of other app server java files.
JUnitServlet was originally developed by
MichaelNygard and
TracieKarsjens, and was featured in the
JavaWorld magazine article called "Test Infect your Enterprise
JavaBeans." Check out the article at the URL
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2000/jw-0526-testinfect.html .
JUnitServlet is now an open source development effort, hosted on
SourceForge at the URL
http://sourceforge.net/projects/junitservlet/ . Since the version presented in the
JavaWorld article, several things are being enhanced, including the addition or an HTML launch page, and having the tests run in a separate thread, with the HTML result page updating itself until the test is finshed.
I use JUnitServlet, in combination with
HttpUnit, at my company (
ValTech), and it works great!!!
