Testing - diff cases

[Arijit Ghosh]

Hi,

Is there any open source software available which I can probably use to automate my testing process ?

I am mainly involved in Java Based Projects. However, consider the situation where I am using a particular file called ABC.TXT which is present in all the projects.. with different parameters based on the project.

But the requirement is that a particular format has to be followed ---

NAME: abcd

Note the space after the colon.

I want to run such automated tests which can identify if there are any such problems. However, don't want to restrict myself to just formatting checks.

Any pointers ?

Regards,
Arijit

my requirements also involve testing situations like "Is there

What language do you want to write your tests in? If Java is ok, then I'd recommend using JUnit as it has plenty of extensions and an industry-wide support in IDE's.

Was this supposed to be there?

Sorry no that was not supposed to be there..

But can JUnit be used to satisfy my requirements ?

Yes, JUnit can be used to satisfy the requirements you listed. Basically, you can do pretty much anything that can be done with Java when using JUnit -- you're writing Java code!
