## Oracle JavaTest Harness Documentation

The following documentation was created to describe the JavaTest harness upon which the JT harness is based. It is provided for your convenience and describes the JavaTest harness and how to create test suites and components that work with the harness.

Document | Description
--- | ---
JT Harness Whitepaper | Describes an overview of the workings and features of the JT harness.
JavaTest Architect's Guide | Describes how to create test suites that work with the JavaTest harness. This manual includes tutorials that introduce you to the JavaTest GUI and help you build your first test suite. The manual also describes how the JT harness works and contains instructions for creating custom components for your test suite.
JavaTest User's Guide - Graphical User Interface | Describes how to use the JavaTest harness graphical user interface to run test suites and evaluate test results.
JavaTest User's Guide - Command-Line User Interface | Describes how to use the JavaTest command-line interface to configure and execute tests and create reports without using the GUI -- this allows you to use the JavaTest harness to run tests in build scripts and other automated processes.

JavaTest Agent User's Guide

An agent is a separate program that works in conjunction with the JavaTest harness to run tests on a system other than the one that is running the JavaTest harness. You can use custom agents or the JavaTest agent provided with the harness to run tests. The topics in this User's Guide describe how to configure and run the agent provided with the JavaTest harness. If you are using a custom agent (for example, the ME framework), refer to your test suite documentation for a description of how to configure and run it.
