Getting Started

For test developers who do not already have an understanding of the TCK and test suite development process, it can take considerable time and effort to put the pieces of the TCK puzzle in place. Consequently, test developers should read the TCK Project Planning Guide and the Java Technology Test Suite Development Guide to understand the principles involved in constructing TCKs and test suites before using this guide. These documents provide the following fundamental information about TCK and test suite development:

For test developers who are creating a TCK, the TCK Project Planning Guide provides general descriptions of the components required for a TCK, explanations of the process of creating a TCK, descriptions of the resources required to create a TCK, and a description of the planning process for a TCK development project.

For test developers who are creating a test suite, the Java Technology Test Suite Development Guide provides general descriptions of the methods used to create a test suite with its tests and include an overview of test development techniques. The chapters in this document are presented in a sequence that developers who are new to the process of creating test suites can follow when creating their own test suite.
