Software Testing Tools - for java

Question

Can someone list me 5 good softwares for "Software Testing" in java projects? I need to study 5 of them, what do you recommend?

Answer 1

To start off, the jUnit unit testing framework.

However, there are many different tools, depending on the type of testing you are doing.

Here is a good list.

Answer 2

• JUnit
• DBUnit
• HttpUnit
• Selenium
• SoapUI

Answer 3

Mutation Testing is a neat idea.

My preference is to catch bugs before testing via checkstyle, PMD, and FindBugs.

For unit testing JUnit or TestNG.

To ensure that unit tests are testing a fair chunk of the code a code coverage tool such as cobertura or EMMA.

Answer 4

In addition to the unit testing tools already listed in the other answers, you may want to read about functional testing as well. For, example: Quick Test Pro

The test scripting language in Quick Test Pro is VB Script. but the created tests can be run against any GUI application, including Java GUIs.

Answer 5

• Unit test frameworks: JUnit / TestNG
• Mocking frameworks: JMock / EasyMock / Mockito
• Continuous Integration tools: CruiseControl / Hudson
• Requirements testing: Fit / FitNesse

• Automated UI testing: Selenium
• Other tools: HTTPUnit / DBUnit
• Contract tester: EqualsVerifier (Ok, full disclosure: I made this one myself.)
