Fit stands for FrameworkForIntegratedTest. The following is from Wikipedia:
Framework for Integrated Test, or “Fit,†is an open-source tool for automated customer tests. It allows customers to provide examples of how their software should work.
Notice the word customer appears twice there?
We actually have a pretty good Fit Test framework. It uses a combination of Excel, JUnit and Watir. Excel is used for data input, scripting tests and assertion. It makes our Fit tests easier for non-geeks customers to use. Although, our onsite customers were not very keen on this idea. Writing, maintaining and verifying tests has always been only the developer and QA’s responsibility.
With the newest progress in our project, the focus has been switched from finishing stories to completing scenarios. One of the things we are trying out is to really get customers involved in Fit Tests because it’s the only way we can ensure the scenarios are completed and stabilized. Two of our brilliant developers, Mike and Celina, enhanced our Fit framework to make it even easier to use. So let’s hope we will be real Fit this time.
