This chapter contains the following sections:
Testing Java Components
SilkPerformer’s Java Framework enables developers and QA personnel to
coordinate their development and testing efforts while allowing them to work
entirely within their specialized environments: developers work exclusively in
their Java programming environments while QA staff work exclusively in
SilkPerformer—there’s no need for staff to learn new tools. SilkPerformer’s
Java Framework thereby encourages efficiency and tighter integration between
QA and development.
Java developers typically build applications and hand them off to QA for testing.
QA personnel are then tasked with testing Java applications end-to-end and
component-by-component. Typically QA personnel aren’t given clients (test
drivers) to test applications and they typically aren’t able to code such test
clients themselves. This is where Java Explorer and the Java Framework are
effective. Java Explorer offers a means of visually scripting test clients. In effect
Java Explorer acts like a test client and can be used to approach the application
under test.
All Java components can be tested with Java Explorer, but the focus lies on the
following three Java components: Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), Web Services,
and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
