NetBeans Platform

During development of NetBeans Platform 6.5, an effort was made to improve the testing infrastructure provided for NetBeans Platform applications. Prior to that, many small magical build scripts and other configuration files were needed when setting up the test infrastructure for NetBeans Platform applications. Since then, however, there is inherent support for testing NetBeans Platform application within the NetBeans Platform's build harness scripts. Therefore, unit and functional tests for NetBeans Platform applications are now supported out of the box. This simplification of the testing infrastructure is sometimes referred to as "simpletests", since it greatly simplifies the work necessary to set up such tests for your application.
