Mockrunner – Unit Testing of J2EE Applications –

Abstract

A fast test-development cycle is absolutely mandatory when developing applications with agile methodologies. There are different approaches to overcome the sluggishness of in-container testing. One common technique is the use of mock objects or of stub objects. Mockrunner is a framework that simulates J2EE [1] containers. It simplifies unit testing of J2EE based applications. The application can be tested without changing the original code. Mockrunner is open source and can be downloaded from [2].
