22 Aug 2006 In this installment of the "Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform" tutorial series, learn how to use Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) testing features to measure the response time of your Web application. Then, discover how to create and manage improved JUnit tests and create computer-directed manual testing.
In this tutorial
This third installment in the "Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform" tutorial series demonstrates how to use TPTP's testing features to measure the response time of your Web application, shows how to create and manage improved JUnit tests, and describes how to create computer-directed manual testing. You learn how to use the Eclipse TPTP testing features to measure the response time of your Web application. Then, you discover how to create and manage improved JUnit tests and learn how to create computer-directed manual testing.
Prerequisites
You should have experience with software development and the entire software development life cycle. You should also have experience installing software from the command line, and know how to set and manage shell and system environment variables, such as the shell's PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables, and the Java CLASSPATH variable. Acquaintance with the Java programming language, the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), and the Eclipse user interface (UI) is advantageous, but not required.
System requirements
You can run Eclipse on any system that offers or supports a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which includes Solaris, Linux®, Mac OS X, and Microsoft® Windows®. If you haven't installed a JVM on your system, make sure you have at least 250 MB of free disk space for the Java software (in some cases, far less is required). The core Eclipse software and all the plug-ins used here consume another 50 MB. In addition to disk space, you need enough free physical memory to run the JVM. In general, 64 MB or more is recommended for satisfactory performance. Here's everything you need:
Note: Even if you already have a Web browser, if you want to use the computer-directed manual test suites, you must install Mozilla V1.7.8 or later because it includes UI components that the Eclipse TPTP manual testing tools use.
