26-528: [REDACTED] Look up fitness in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Fitness may refer to: Physical fitness , a state of health and well-being of the body Fitness culture , a sociocultural phenomenon surrounding exercise and physical fitness Fitness (biology) , an individual's ability to propagate its genes Fitness (cereal) , a brand of breakfast cereals and granola bars Fitness (magazine) ,

52-447: A decision table . The FitNesse tool supports several of these variations, ranging from literal decision tables to tables that execute queries to tables that express testing scripts (i.e. a literal ordering of steps that must be followed to reach a result). The most generic form is a fully free-form table that can be interpreted in any way the test designers like. All tests are expressed in the shape of some sort of table, however. FitNesse

130-684: A fixture, by its nature, is a heavyweight construct. These considerations have prompted the FitNesse team in recent years to move to the SLIM testing engine. SLIM (Simple List Invocation Method) is an alternative to Fit. The SLIM engine is an implementation of the Slim Protocol Archived 2014-12-06 at the Wayback Machine . Rather than combining all the elements of wiki-based testing, the SLIM engine concentrates only on invoking

156-413: A historic overview of test results for trend analysis. Finally, the engine offers some minor security facilities for locking pages and securing access to the wiki. Testing within the FitNesse system involves four components per test: Of these components the software development team produces two: the wiki page and the fixture (of course it also produces the system under test, but from the point of view of

182-417: A system under test is considered to be a black box and is tested in terms of the outputs generated in response to predetermined inputs. A functional tester is responsible for designing the tests in a functional sense and expressing them within the FitNesse tool, whereas the software developer is responsible for connecting the FitNesse tool to the system under test so that FitNesse can execute the test and compare

208-540: A user interface, which inspired the name of the tool. Fit is a framework that combines many responsibilities in testing rather than separating responsibilities neatly. The software developer pays a price for this fact in that fixtures for the Fit engine must inherit from Fit framework base classes. This can be inconvenient in Java, as it means that the framework claims a developer's one chance at class inheritance. It also means that

260-400: A wiki engine, an embedded web server, a testing engine and all the resources (images, stylesheets and so on) required to create a web site in FitNesse's own style. FitNesse is focused very much on ease of use as a testing tool. As such it ships with all required components on board: upon execution the tool launches an embedded web server which allows test pages to be exposed locally or across

338-421: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages FitNesse FitNesse allows users of a developed system to enter specially formatted input (its format is accessible to non-programmers). This input is interpreted, and tests are created automatically. These tests are then executed by the system and output is returned to the user. The advantage of this approach

364-430: Is focused entirely on easily creating tests, allowing testers and developers to focus on creating high-quality tests rather than getting lost in the mechanics of executing a test. Given the way FitNesse works, creating tests easily involves three factors: In order to meet these requirements, FitNesse leverages the wiki mechanism. Wikis classically allow for the easy and rapid creation of HTML pages and particularly simplify

390-409: Is quite basic but offers all the basic facilities common among wiki engines: a search engine , revision history per page and a file overview. It also offers some refactoring operations that allow for deleting, moving and renaming files. In addition, the wiki engine offers some test-specific facilities, such as standard buttons to run tests, ways of defining individual test pages and suites of tests and

416-480: Is very fast feedback from users. The developer of the system to be tested needs to provide some support (classes named "fixtures", conforming to certain conventions). FitNesse is written in Java (by Micah Martin with help from Robert C. Martin and others ). The program first supported only Java, but versions for several other languages have been added over time ( C++ , Python , Ruby , Delphi , C# , etc.). FitNesse

442-553: The black-box test only two). The wiki page includes some form of decision table which expresses a test. For example, it might express tests for a component that performs division (the example is based on the one given in the FitNesse Two Minute Example): The link between the generic testing engine and the system under test is made by a piece of Java code called a fixture. In the case of the table above this code might look like this: The mapping between

468-465: The Internet with equal ease. The embedded server is quite lightweight and can be run from a laptop as well as full server machine. Upon launch the tool deploys its own Wiki engine into its embedded server. This Wiki engine is similarly focused on simplicity, meaning that it does not require a backing database to run — it simply creates a file-based collection of wiki pages which are interpreted by

494-463: The Wiki engine and served by the embedded web server. The default wiki created by the tool includes the FitNesse user guide and some examples. The default document repository is created complete with everything needed to publish a default wiki in the FitNesse style (that is, all the images, stylesheets, JavaScript files and so on are created together with the basic wiki page repository). The wiki engine

520-573: The actual output to the expected output. The idea behind this testing method, as described in Fit for Developing Software , is that the forced collaboration of testers and developers will improve mutual understanding of the system and requirements by forcing the two groups to develop a common language as they learn to communicate together. Tests are described in Fitnesse as couplings of inputs and expected outputs. These couplings are expressed variations of

546-429: The decision table, from left to right. The actual mapping as described above (as well as the invocation of fixture methods) is done by a testing engine. FitNesse supports two of these engines: the Fit engine and the SLIM engine. More than an engine, Fit is a testing framework unto itself. It combines functionality to invoke tests, interpret wiki pages and generate output pages. FitNesse was originally built around Fit as

572-460: The expression of tables. These qualities make the basic WikiWiki language an ideal choice for a "user interface" for FitNesse: on the one hand it allows for the simple expression of very free-form tables, on the other hand it limits the contents of those tables to rather simple text. This means that the WikiWiki language can handle whatever shape of table is required for a particular test and at

598-401: The fixture; it runs as a separate server which is invoked remotely by the FitNesse wiki engine. The interpretation of the wiki page and the generation of the result page is now part of the wiki engine. The SLIM engine allows for far more light-weight fixtures which are simple POJOs . These fixtures are not required to extend or use any framework classes, which simplifies their design and allows

624-450: The same time limits the contents of those tables to alphanumeric text that can easily be mapped into a call to a piece of software. Finally, since each test in FitNesse is a wiki page it is possible to embed each testing table within wiki text; this allows a functional tester to include descriptive text with a reasonable layout quickly. FitNesse is a tool developed in Java and shipped as a single, executable jar file . The executable includes

650-415: The wiki page and the fixture is a straightforward convert-to- camel case mapping. This mapping applies to all table headings and is used to identify the name of the fixture class as well as the methods of the fixture. A heading ending in a question mark is interpreted as a value to be read from the fixture, other headers are considered inputs to the fixture. Methods of the fixture are called in column order of

676-419: Was originally designed as a highly usable interface around the Fit framework. As such its intention is to support an agile style of black-box testing acceptance and regression testing. In this style of testing the functional testers in a software development project collaborate with the software developers to develop a testing suite. FitNesse testing is based around the notation of black-box testing, in which
