public class AutomatedTester

extends java.lang.Object

The AutomatedTester is a class that is designed to be an in-program test facility. It is capable of reading in test cases from files, extracting properties specified in those test cases, and then creating a test case of the right form for the right system.

This is done through the use of another class, the TestHarness, which is capable of creating instances of the TestCase class that are collected by this framework.
