We’ll also take a quick look at the Jersey Client, and how that can help writing more cleaner clients, including unit tests.
This one hour talk will show the basics of getting started writing automated acceptance tests in FitNesse. The presentation will demonstrate adding acceptance tests to existing production code. Here’s the outline:
