6:40 pm	Main Session - Extending JUnit Speaker: Jim Hurne, ImageTech Systems Jim Hurne is a developer and systems architect at ImageTech Systems, an enterprise content management (ECM) systems integrator/implementor. Recently, he has been leading an effort to adopt a test-driven development methodology at ImageTech Systems. Jim has recently joined the JUnit Extensions project, a small open source project focused on extending JUnit 4. Abstract: JUnit has been the de-facto Java unit testing framework for many years. Since its initial release, many extensions to JUnit have been developed to address specific testing challenges not addressed by the core framework. However, the existing extensions do not fit well into version 4 of JUnit, which favors the use of Java 5 annotations over naming conventions and Java 5 static imports over inheritance. In addition, there are still many testing problems to be solved. Jim will be presenting on how to extend JUnit 4 to address new testing problems. He will use an extension that he has been developing to solve a particular problem as an example. The presentation will also include a brief introduction to testing patterns and data-driven tests.
7:40 pm	Open Q&A
