The Framework for Integrated Test (Fit) is an open-source - Framework under the GNU General Public License (GPL) for automating acceptance tests. In contrast to unit tests , acceptance tests are not written in the source code but formulated in external documents ( e.g. Excel , HTML , Word or a wiki ). The advantage is that the test author does not need any programming knowledge. Fit is used as a tool for test-driven development . It is developed by Ward Cunningham .

functionality

Data for fit tests are created in tabular form. Each line corresponds to a test run; For each individual test, the columns contain the name of the test, the input values ​​and the expected result. This means that the tests are data-driven. The document with the formulated tests is read in by Fit and the individual tests are called with the transferred parameters. Fit makes a copy of the original document and records the test results there.
