1. Preparation (time taken:        )
   Download the source code from the book “Junit in Action”
     Book at http://www.manning.com/massol/
     Source http://www.manning.com/catalog/view.php?book=massol&item=source
   Expand the source code on your hard disk
     (e.g. resulting into c:\junitbook\...)
   Expand the package accompanying the course (e.g. on c:\testing)
   Download a recent JDK
     Look e.g. at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
   Install the JDK
     You may want to include the JAVA_HOME\bin directory into the CLASSPATH

2. Junit (time taken:        )
   Setup Junit
     See “Setting up Junit.pdf", pp. 11-15 of the book "Junit in Action"
   Write a test case
     See “TestCalculator3.java” and “Calculator.java” in the subdirectory
       “c:\junitbook\jumpstart”
   Execute the test case and understand what happens behind the scenes
     See “Executing a test.pdf”, pp. 33-37 of the book "Junit in Action"

3. Eclipse (time taken:        )
   Setup Eclipse
     See “Eclipse Quickstart.pdf”, pp. 341-345 of the book "Junit in Action"
     Download e.g. eclipse-platform-SDK-3.0-win32.zip and
       eclipse-JDT-SDK-3.0.zip
     Expand them on your hard disk (e.g. resulting into c:\eclipse\...)
   Write a test and the code
     See “TestCalculator3.java” and “Calculator.java” in the subdirectory
       “c:\junitbook\jumpstart”
   Execute the tests
     See “Running Tests from Eclipse.pdf”, pp. 112-115 of the book
     	"Junit in Action"
   Alternatively you can
     import the existing projects from the book (at least from the
       directories c:\junitbook\repository c:\junitbook\jumpstart and
       c:\junitbook\sampling)
     change to the Java perspective (Window => Open Perspective => Other)
     right click on the TestCalculator3.java and select Run => Junit Test
     view the results on the Junit tab

4. Ant (time taken:        )
   Setup Ant
     See “Ant.pdf”, pp. 91-102 of the book "Junit in Action"
   Write a build file and the targets
     See “build-simple.xml” and “build.xml” in the subdirectory
       “c:\junitbook\sampling”
   Execute the targets and understand what happens behind the scenes
     See “Ant.pdf”, pp. 91-102 of the book "Junit in Action"

5. Maven (time taken:        )
   Setup Maven
     See “Maven.pdf”, pp. 102-112 of the book "Junit in Action"

     See “build-simple.xml” and “build.xml” in the subdirectory
       “c:\junitbook\sampling”
   Execute the targets.
     See “Maven.pdf”, pp. 102-112 of the book "Junit in Action"
     Get to know which goals are available by executing "maven -g"
     Try the targets "test", "site"
     Look at the resulting project web page index.html in the
       .\target\docs directory
   Set MAVEN_HOME to the DOS8.3 version of the name (e.g.
     "C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\MAVEN1~1.0" instead of
     "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Maven 1.0")

6. FIT (time taken:        )
   Setup FIT
     Download via http://fit.c2.com/wiki.cgi?JavaDownloads
     Expand on your hard disk (e.g. resulting into C:\FIT\Release)
   Understand the basics
     Look at http://fit.c2.com/wiki.cgi?WhatsWhat
   Run the first tests
     Look at http://fit.c2.com/wiki.cgi?RunMeFirst
   Walk through the examples
     Look at http://fit.c2.com/wiki.cgi?ExampleTests
     And http://fit.c2.com/wiki.cgi?CalculatorExample
   Write a functional test case with FIT
   Execute the test

7. FitNesse (time taken:        )
   Setup FitNesse
     Download fitnesse from http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.DownLoad

     Get started, see http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.GettingStarted
   Create an acceptance test (see CreateExampleAcceptanceTest.pdf)
   Understand how to write acceptance tests
     See http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.WritingAcceptanceTests
   Understand how to group tests to suites
     See http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.WritingAcceptanceTestSuites
   Walk through the Calculator example
     (http://fitnesse.org/FitNesseCalculator.FrontPage)

8. Black-Box Testing (time taken:        )
   Imagine that you are a member of the test team that has to perform
     functional tests for the shopping function of the Amazon.com web
     site (focus on shopping and not on browsing through the catalogue).
   Identify who the other members of the test team are (i.e. self-organize
     your test team!)
   Find all the functions to be tested (for shopping on Amazon.com)
   Find the associated factors for inputs and outputs
   Find the equivalence classes for the factors
   Select test values from the equivalence classes (possibly with boundary
     value analysis)
   Find a small (or even minimum) set of test cases that covers the
     identified functions and factors.
