boundary value
analysis A test case development technique that entails developing additional test cases based on the boundaries defined by previously categorized equivalence classes.
class The prototype for an object in an
classes Classes are related in a class hierarchy. One class might be a specialization (a subclass) of another (one of its superclasses), may be composed of other classes, or might use other classes in a
compatibility rules Define the criteria a Java technology implementation must meet to be certified as “compatible” with the technology specification. See also compatibility testing.
compatibility testing The process of testing an implementation to make sure it is compatible with the corresponding Java specification. A suite of tests contained in a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) is typically used to test that the implementation meets and passes all of the compatibility rules of that specification.
configuration Information about your computing environment required to execute a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) test suite. The JavaTest harness uses a configuration interview to collect and store configuration information.
Configuration Editor The dialog box used by the JavaTest harness to present the configuration interview.
configuration
interview A series of questions displayed by the JavaTest harness to gather information from the user about the computing environment in which the TCK is being run. This information is used to produce a test environment that the JavaTest harness uses to execute tests.
configuration
templates Files used by the JavaTest harness to configure individual test runs. The JavaTest harness uses the file name extension *.jti to store test harness configuration templates.
configuration value Information about your computing environment required to execute a TCK test or tests. The JavaTest harness uses a configuration interview to collect configuration values.
