Glossary
The definitions in this glossary are intended for Java Compatibility Test Tools (Java CTT) and Java Technology Compatibility Kits (TCK). Some of these terms might have different definitions or connotations in other contexts. This is a generic glossary covering all of Sun’s CTTs and TCKs, and therefore, it might contain some terms that are not relevant to the specific product described in this manual.
active agent A type of test agent that initiates a connection to the JavaTest harness. Active test agents enable you to run tests in parallel using many agents at once and to specify the test machines at the time you run the tests. Use the agent monitor to view the list of registered active agents and synchronize active agents with the JavaTest harness before running tests. See also test agent, passive agent, and JavaTest harness agent.
active applet instance An applet instance that is selected on at least one of the logical channels.
agent monitor The JavaTest window that is used to synchronize s and to monitor agent activity. The Agent Monitor window displays the agent pool and the agents currently in use.
agents See test agent, active agent, passive agent, and ross.
all values All of the configuration values required for a test suite. All values include the test environment values specific to that test suite and the JavaTest harness standard values.
API member Fields, methods and constructors for all public classes that are defined in the specification.
API member tests Tests (sometimes referred to as class and methods tests) that verify the semantics of API members.
