FloSoft Systems News

thisTest 1.2 Java Unit Testing Framework was released today. The highlights of this release are:

• A GUI has been added (screenshots)
• The internal API was refactored to make integration into GUI/IDE developement enviroments easier

FileBuilder is a tool for creating files that contain repition by building them from components. The current release is ment for general use, future releases will contain premade templates for various applications.

As with all FloSoft Systems products FileBuilder uses a community-oriented licensing/business model that preserves all the postive aspects of open-source while allowing the developer to make a living from their work, without having to ask for donations.

In the first larger acceptance of Sustainable Intellectual Works (SIW), the generic term for FloSoft Systems' license model, an community-oriented oriented project "farm" has accepted a SIW'ed product, thisTest Java Unit Testing Framework. Java.net, the Java community's version of Source Forge, notified FloSoft Systems yesterday that it has accepted thisTest Java Unit Testing Framework as meeting their standards (freely available source code) for community-oriented developer and have agreed to host a project page for it.

In an unofficial statement the Miai Foundation for Sustainable Intellectual Works, of which FloSoft Systems' Managing Director is the Vice President, welcomed the acceptance of thisTest Java Unit Testing Framework, and hopefully other SIW'ed products such as FloSoft Systems' Java Developer Tools, by Java.net. "It shows that community-oriented intellectual works need not only be traditional open-source", stated Henry Pjiffers, president of the foundation.

thisTest Java Unit Testing Framework is a very lightweight Java testing platform. It along with aMock and other forthcoming Java Developer Tools from FloSoft Systems are the first SIW'ed Java Developer Tools.

FloSoft Systems has released its second community-oriented product in its Java Developer Tools product line. aMock is a real-time mock object tool. Mock objects are used in unit testing to ensure that test code does not accidentally test more then one class. aMock works with all existing testing frameworks, FloSoft Systems offers a $50 prize to the first person who finds a testing framework that "breaks" aMock, including all future and home made frameworks.

As with all FloSoft Systems products aMock uses a community-oriented licensing/business model that preserves all the postive aspects of open-source while allowing the developer to make a living from their work, without having to ask for donations.

Again as with all FloSoft Systems products there is a 30-day trial version that is 100% functional (including source code) and which does not contain any sort of time activated feature disabling. In short FloSoft Systems assumes that the user will treat us as fellow programmers.

FloSoft Systems released the first upgrade to its lightweight testing framework, thisTest Java Unit Testing Framework. The highlights of this release are:

New feature: TestType can be used to define when and how a test is run

New feature: Run-time, command line argument, based selection of the type of test(s) to run

Enhancement: Complete javadoc's for the API

Enhancement: Better internal test coverage (TestSet now has its own set of @TestCase's)
