The Prima version of the tester library is designed for a novice programmer. This pages refer exclusively to the Prima version.

The Avanti version of the tester library will contain additional features and provide more flexibility for fine-tuning the test cases for a more seasoned programmer. The link to its GoogleCode pages are given below.

The tester library supports the comparison of the values of an arbitrary pair of data. It reports the number of tests performed, the number of failed tests, provides a report on all failed tests with reference to the test that failed as well as a display of the actual and expected values. Additionally, it also supports the conversion of any object to a representation as a well-formatted String. The test report includes a display of all data defined in the class that invoked the tests.

Setup describes how the programmer can invoke the tester library. To support both a novice user and a seasoned programmer, and to give the user a choice of the detail of reporting, we provide a behind-the-scenes invocation of the library, standard access from user-define main method, and a flexibility that uses Java annotations.
