Testing with FitNesse

FitNesse (http://fitnesse.org) is a fully integrated standalone wiki and acceptance-testing framework. You can write tests in tables and run them. Writing tests in a wiki language widens the audience of potential test writers and decreases the initial efforts required to learn a new framework.

If a test passes, the table row is displayed in green. If it fails, it is displayed in red. The tests can be surrounded by wiki content delivering context information, such as user stories, at the same location as the tests. You can also consider creating mock-ups of your web applications in FitNesse next to the tests, and pointing the tests at those mock-ups.

This recipe describes how to run FitNesse remotely and display the results within Jenkins.
