Concordion Description

An open source tool for writing automated acceptance tests in Java Concordion is an open source and free development tool for writing automated acceptance tests in Java.Plain English specifications Rather than forcing product owners to specify requirements in a specially structured language, Concordion lets you write them in plain English using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes the specifications much more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.Always bang up-to-date Concordion specifications are active. Behind the scenes, they are linked to the system under test and therefore do not go out-of-date. If a change is made to the system's behaviour then the tests associated with the relevant specification will fail and let you know. Complex behaviours can be decomposed Each question at the bottom of the specification links to another active specification and so on until you have either run out of questions or the answer is "Out of Scope". In this way, a complex behaviour can be broken down into small, focused and easily understood requirements. Here are some key features of "Concordion": Powerful, yet simple to use: · Concordion integrates directly with JUnit. Highly readable tests: · Concordion acceptance tests are so readable they can double up as system documentation. And, since the tests are linked to the system, you know the documentation is always up-to-date. Separates tests from implementation: · Tests that include a lot of implementation detail lock you into that implementation. Concordion helps you to document the logic and behavior of your system in a way that does not lock you in. Requirements: · Java 1.5 or later
