<p>JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance
of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.

<h2>
<a NAME="Summary of"></a>Summary of Changes with version 4.1</h2>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Bug fix: listeners now get a correct test running time, rather than always being told 0 secs.
<li>The @RunWith annotation is now inherited by subclasses: 
all subclasses of an abstract test class will be run by the same runner.
<li>The build script fails if the JUnit unit tests fail
<li>The faq has been updated
<li>Javadoc has been improved, with more internal links, and package descriptions added (Thanks, Matthias Schmidt!)
<li>An acknowledgements.txt file has been created to credit outside contributions
<li>The <tt>Enclosed</tt> runner, which runs all of the static inner classes of a given class, has been added
to <tt>org.junit.runners</tt>.
</ul>
</p>

<h2>Summary of Changes with version 4.0</h2>
<p>
The architecture of JUnit 4.0 is a substantial departure from that of earlier releases. 
Instead of 
tagging test classes by subclassing junit.framework.TestCase and tagging test methods by 
starting their name with "test", you now tag test methods with the @Test annotation.
</p>

<h2>
<a NAME="Installation"></a>Installation</h2>
Below are the installation steps for installing JUnit:
<ol>
<li>
unzip the junit4.1.zip file</li>

<li>
add<i> </i><b>junit-4.1.jar</b> to the CLASSPATH. For example: 
<tt> set classpath=%classpath%;INSTALL_DIR\junit-4.1.jar;INSTALL_DIR</tt></li>

<li>
test the installation by running <tt>java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests.</tt></li>

<br><b><font color="#FF0000">Notice</font></b>: that the tests are not
contained in the junit-4.1.jar but in the installation directory directly.
Therefore make sure that the installation directory is on the class path
</ol>
<b><font color="#FF0000">Important</font></b>: don't install junit-4.1.jar
into the extension directory of your JDK installation. If you do so the
test class on the files system will not be found.
<h2>
<a NAME="Getting"></a>Getting Started</h2>
To get started with unit testing and JUnit read the article:
<a href="doc/cookbook/cookbook.htm">JUnit Cookbook</a>.
<br>This article describes basic test writing using JUnit 4.
<p>You find additional samples in the org.junit.samples package:
<ul>
<li>
SimpleTest.java - some simple test cases</li>

<li>
VectorTest.java - test cases for java.util.Vector</li>
</ul>
