DbFit is a free extension library for FIT/FitNesse testing framework. It allows developers to manipulate database objects in a relational style, making it much easier to manage and test database objects than with xUnit-style tests.
Release 0.91 (22-Oct-2007) brings:
- support for type normalisers in Java, which can transform content coming out of the database. That provides workarounds for JDBC driver inconsistencies and finally brings proper support for Oracle Timestamp, CLOB and REF cursor support in Java.
- New fixture table: Update. This type of table can be used to quickly script data updates. See acceptance tests for examples.
- support for BINARY and VARBINARY types for SQL Server 2005. These map to byte arrays. A utility formatter is also in the release, that allows you to specify byte arrays in hex format (0xABCD?). See the data types page in SQLServer acceptance tests for more information.
- User guide finally updated with all the developments in the last few months.

This is a point release to add support for Struts 1.3. Tests written for Struts 1.2 apps that have since been deployed to 1.3 may be tested under 1.3 with this release.
This release does NOT support configurations that use the ComposableRequestProcessor new to Struts 1.3 — only the 1.2 RequestProcessor/TilesRequestProcessor or their subclasses. Full-fledged support for 1.3-style applications will be offered in a future release.
The StrutsTestCase library is available as three distinct releases supporting the 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 versions of the Servlet specification, and the 1.2 (and 1.3) versions of the Struts Framework. PLEASE NOTE that StrutsTestCase no longer supports the Struts 1.0 release.

Several open source testing tool sessions at StarWEST in Orlando later this month. Nice to see open source gaining visibility in the testing conferences, maybe one day we’ll have an open source conference track!
Wed 24th: Patrick Lightbody of Gomez, Inc is running “Testing AJAX Applications with Open Source Selenium.”
Thurs 25th: Seth Southern of Aculis, Inc. is running “Apodora: An Open Source Framework for Web Testing”.
You have to take your pick on the 25th as at the same time Eran Witkon of Radview is doing “Load Testing New Web Technologies” covering AJAX, RIA, Web services, and SOA. Not sure whether he’ll be focussing on their Professional or Open Source version, I think Professional is more geared to this type of testing though.
