I finally had some time to take a look at Concordion, an acceptance testing tool that I’ve heard about on several conferences. Concordion is an interesting alternative to FIT. It is developed by David Peterson and released under the Apache opensource license. Similar to FIT, Concordion uses HTML documents as an executable specification and requires some glue code (fixtures) to connect the executable elements of that specification to the domain code. Unlike FIT, Concordion does not require the specification to be in any particular format — you can write examples as normal sentences, without any restrictions. Continue Reading »

During the Agile 2008 conference, Mike Stockdale organised a mini-session where he and Rick Mugridge presented some new features and ideas that they are working on at the moment. The session led to a very interesting discussion on whether we could produce a variant of domain adapter/domain fixtures that allows FIT to connect directly to most domain services and objects without the need for any fixtures.

Ivan Sanchez translated the FIT/FitNesse Fixture Gallery to Portugese. Translation of release 2.1 (2008-08-11) is now online:

• a print-ready PDF
• an executable FitNesse wiki
• a live web site

Fixture Gallery 2.1 is immediately available for download from SourceForge. Fixture Gallery is a cookbook for FIT/FitNesse tests. It provides developers with a quick overview of the most important fixture types and concepts for agile acceptance testing using the FIT framework. For each fixture type, this document explains the table format and fixture class structure and provides advice when to use and when not to use it. Each example is accompanied by the source code for Java, .NET, Python and Smalltalk FIT implementations, in a form that can be easily copied and used as a template for similar fixtures.

Version 2.1 brings Smalltalk examples for all fixtures in the document. I’d like to thank Randy Coulman for providing these examples.
