Trinidad 1.0.8 is now available. Trinidad is the in-process test runner for FitNesse (java), allowing you to quickly execute, troubleshoot and debug FitNesse tests from your IDE and integrate FitNesse easily with a continuous build system through JUnit or Maven (without running the server). Version 1.0.8 changes include:

• JUnit Suite Runner (@RunWith) that prints fitnesse test names in JUnit reports (thanks to Johannes Link)
• Test names in suite results are now now hyperlinks to test outputs (thanks to Björn Beskow)
• Compatibility with latest FitNesse version (20090513)

For more information, examples and download links see http://fitnesse.info/trinidad

Sticky Minds web site published a review of my book Test Driven .NET Development with FitNesse, concluding that:

By reading this book and then either implementing the example as specified or by using the author’s concepts, you would be hard pressed not to come out of the experience a much better developer.

You can read the whole review here

Here are the videos from the Agile acceptance testing tools round-up event held on May 27th at Skills Matter in London.

David Peterson on Concordion. Grab the slides.

My presentation on FitNesse, TextTest and Robot Framework.
You can grab the slides or read the Robot framework review.

It was a great pleasure to present yesterday on agile testing tools together with Elizabeth Keogh and David Peterson. Here are the links to the tools that we presented:

• JBehave
• FitNesse
• Concordion
• TextTest
• Robot Framework

You can download my slides from http://gojko.net/resources/skillsmatter_20090527_aattools.pdf. David and Elizabeth will probably publish their slides soon on their blogs, http://blog.davidpeterson.co.uk/ and http://lizkeogh.com/.

Thanks a lot to everyone who attended, and I’m really impressed that the room was almost full especially as we had to compete with the final of the Champions league. As more than half of the people were at the previous agile testing events as well, it seems to me that we’re creating a nice community and I hope that you’ll keep coming to future events as well. The plan for the next few months is this:

• 23/6: Testable Software is Good Software by (David Evans and Mike Scott from SQS UK).
• 22/7: Agile Testing: Tools and Approaches (Nathan Bain and Anand Ramdeo)
• 26/8: Fast Track Test-Driven Development – Testify your project (David Evans and Mike Scott)

All events will be free, but up-front registration is required for capacity planning. You can sign up now for the June event at http://skillsmatter.com/event/design-architecture/testable-software-is-good-software.

A quick note: on 27th this month I’ll be doing a free evening session “Acceptance testing tools roundup” in central london, comparing features of some popular tools including fitnesse, concordion, texttest, jbehave etc.

The session is free to attend, but up-front registration is required for capacity planning. you can register on:
