!1 What is !-FitNesse-!?
|
||
|
|
!3 !-FitNesse-! is a software development collaboration tool
|
||
|
|
Great software requires collaboration and communication. !-FitNesse-! is a tool for enhancing collaboration in software development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!-FitNesse-! enables customers, testers, and programmers to '''learn what their software should do''', and to automatically compare that to '''what it actually does do'''. It compares customers' expectations to actual results.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's an invaluable way to collaborate on complicated problems (and get them right) early in development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(''The above description is adapted from James Shore's description of Ward Cunningham's [[Fit Framework][FitFramework]], which is one of the test systems upon which !-FitNesse-! depends.'')
|
||
|
|
!3 !-FitNesse-! is a software testing tool.
|
||
|
|
From another perspective, !-FitNesse-! is a lightweight, open-source framework that makes it easy for software teams to:
|
||
|
|
* Collaboratively define [[Acceptance Tests][AcceptanceTests]] -- web pages containing simple tables of inputs and expected outputs.
|
||
|
|
* Run those tests and see the results (see [[Two Minute Example][TwoMinuteExample]]).
|
||
|
|
!3 !-FitNesse-! is a wiki.
|
||
|
|
* You can ''easily'' create and edit pages. (See [[Editing Pages][EditingFitNessePages]].)
|
||
|
|
!3 !-FitNesse-! is a web server.
|
||
|
|
* It requires '''no configuration or setup'''.
|
||
|
|
* Just run it and then direct your browser to the machine where it is running (see [[Downloading and Installing][DownloadingAndInstallingFitNesse]]).
