Note – The TCK Project Planning Guide and the Java Technology Test Suite Development Guide documents were originally developed as part of a product used by the Java Community Process (JCP) Specification Leads. For that reason, these documents refer to JCP procedures that might not apply to a test developer’s Framework project.
After becoming familiar with TCK and test suite components and development processes, test developers can begin using this Developer’s Guide to write tests and create Java ME technology test suites that use Framework resources.
To help familiarize test developers new to the Framework with the process of writing tests and building test suites, the chapters in this Developer’s Guide are presented in the following sequence that begins with examples of simple tasks (such as writing a simple test and updating a test suite) and progressively introduces the more complex tasks of creating custom test suites, tests, and test configurations:
■Chapter 2 describes how to write a simple test that can be added to an existing test suite (provided by the Framework) and run by the harness.
■Chapter 3 describes how to use Framework resources when constructing a custom test suite and test configuration.
■Chapter 4 describes how to use Framework resources when writing different types of tests.
In addition to the preceding chapters, the following appendices of this guide provide additional information useful to test developers when creating custom tests and test suites for Java ME technology implementations:
■Appendix A describes the test APIs for different types of tests.
■Appendix B describes the contents of the Framework bundle, the Framework resources, and the Framework components.
■Appendix C provides a summary of Framework keywords and test description fields.
