Although jtreg was originally designed to execute Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) compliance tests, it is not designed to check compliance of a particular Java implementation to the specification, but to test any regressions suite for the Java platform.[2]

History

jtreg started in 1997, during JDK 1.2 development.[3] Being developed prior to JUnit existence, jtreg was initially not compatible with JUnit's test syntax,[2] but later versions added a limited compatibility with JUnit.[4]

Use in OpenJDK

OpenJDK, the open-source implementation of the Java programming language[5] encourages the use of jtreg tests for patch submissions.[6]

gollark: I'm okay with Lua, but the ecosystem is two (2) bee, the syntax is a bit clunky, and I want ADTs.
gollark: Floats aren't unique to JS, but the apiological thing is that it has ONLY floats. Even Lua fixed that.
gollark: OR ARE THEY?
gollark: Yes, it's popular.
gollark: Node's method of async with tons of callbacks was awful. Promises are okay, but async requiring sprinkling of magic syntax bits everywhere is beelike.
