JT Harness Development Roadmap

Make the Harness and Configuration System Easier to Use

• Make lightweight test suites easier to use
• Allow for more customization

Improve Reporting and Analysis Functionality

• Provide support for test cases. Test cases are discrete entities within test suites that have their own status.
• Provide reporting analysis down to the level of the test case

Improve GUI Functionality

• Add GUI support for test cases
• Streamline the use of previous desktop session settings
• Improve the performance and usability of the main test tree
• Improve start-up time and GUI responsiveness during startup
• Improve the execution speed of very small test runs, especially in batch mode

Other General Functional Improvements

• Add functionality to enable stand-alone test bundles to be "exported"
• Improve JUnit support
• Update code to take advantage of new language functionality
• Add support for the Windows 7 and MacOS platforms
• Add additional service management functionality
• Determine the future direction of the JavaTest Agent
• Update the JavaTest Architect's Guide
• Add more code examples to the documentation
• Route the printing and ignoring of errors, warnings, and exceptions to logging systems
• Support the use of Java 8 modules in test suites
• Use Java 8 modules in the harness code
