It is comprised of a three parts. [[BR]] * JUnit `TestCase` classes (`HtmlReportTestCase` and `SOAPReportTestCase`) for invoking Milton style tests through JPF|JSP and JWS respectively. * A Report class which is returned by a test method and analyzed by the `TestCase`. - * Support for generating client code for excercising a Control. Using a ["Mantis"] processor the Milton generator will parse Controls test files, called Drivers and generate the corresponding JPF, JWS, and JUnit accessors allowing the test author to focus on writing the test logic and get end-to-end testing virtually for free. + * Support for generating client code for excercising a Control.

We want to be able to verify that all features Controls work in the two Control client contexts in Beehive: Java Page Flows (JPF) and the JSR-181 implementation of Java Web Services (JWS). "Note: Jave Web Services in Beehive are called WebServices Metadata (WSM) but use the .jws file extension." To accomplish this we have broken the tests into four pieces. + + * 1. The Control being used for testing. + * 2. A POJO called a Driver which contains the logic which excercises the control and dertermins PASS/FAIL/ABORT + * 3. A Client of the control (JPF, JWS, Java) + * 4. A JUnit file which is used to access and trigger the client test methods.
