Distributed Testing Tool

JBossDTF is a distributed testing tool. It is designed to run tests that involve multiple processes (such as clients and servers) on heterogeneous environments. It uses a central test coordinator and multiple slave nodes. Unlike other tools built on this architecture (e.g. hudson, java test runner, anthillpro), it explicitly supports test nodes that have different environments. It can ensure a test is run in a specific environment, subset or cross-product of available environments. Need a test where your server code executes on 64-bit linux with the sun Java 1.5 JVM whilst the client is on 32-bit Windows with Java 6? No problem. Need to run thousands of tests across combinations of 7 different operating systems, each with 3 different JVMs and 6 different database configurations? JBossTS uses DTF for exactly this purpose. We wrote it because we could find nothing else to do the job.

JBossDTF|Open Issues |Roadmap
History DTF was initially developed as an in-house testing tool for ArjunaTS at HP Arjuna Labs and later at Arjuna Technologies. It was transferred to JBoss along with ArjunaTS, which became JBossTS. JBossDTF was released as open source (LGPL) in April 2008. It is used mainly for the testing of JBossTS code.
