The JavaTest harness (or jtreg) is a regression tests framework specifically designed by Sun Microsystems to test the reference Java platform implementation. [2]

Contents

Although jtreg was originally designed to execute Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) compliance tests, it is not designed to check compliance of a particular Java implementation to the specification, but to test any regressions' suite for the Java platform. [2]

History

jtreg started in 1997, during JDK 1.2 development. [3] Being developed prior to JUnit existence, jtreg was initially not compatible with JUnit's test syntax, [2] but later versions added a limited compatibility with JUnit. [4]

Use in OpenJDK

OpenJDK, the open-source implementation of the Java programming language [5] encourages the use of jtreg tests for patch submissions. [6]
