When considering using internal and third party developed software it is highly desirable to be able tpo test them in a standard manner…but….
How do you establish conformity and quality tests for Java based software ?
Although there are a lot of tests for Java, J2EE, beans, XML, etc. in the public domain, the majority of them require a conformity to certain, specifc, standards that require conformity for the test to work properly.
The issue is that there does not appear to be a consensus as to the standards that would be acceptable to individual developers or as to the “best of breed” of individual tests.
I would be grateful for views as to:
– What standards would be generally acceptable for requiring devlopers to conform to ?
– What tests existing the the public or commercial domains that are considered effective for testing either conformity or quality
– What people consider the “best of breed” in the testing arena
many thanks
