Class	Description
EventParser	EventParser parses an XML file representing a stream of AWT input events into an array of InputEvent objects.
EventPlayer	EventPlayer uses the java.awt.robot API to inject streams of events into a component.
EventRecorder	EventRecorder listens to all of the mouse and keyboard events on a given component and records these into a sequence which can then be played back using an EventPlayer object.
EventWriter	EventParser parses an XML file representing a stream of AWT input events into an array of InputEvent objects.
TestCase	An abstract superclass for all test cases.
TestHarness	A test harness.
TestSuite	The abstract superclass of test suites.
TestUtilities	Utility functions to make tests easier to write.

Exception Summary

Package diva.util.jester Description

A small package for writing test suites for Java classes. This package is designed to make it easy to write unit test suites and test suites for object collaborations. In particular, it encourages the use of factory classes for creating objects-under-test. Consistent use of factories:

1. Enables test suites for abstract classes and interfaces to be written.
2. Enables tests to be run over instances of a subtree of classes, provided that classes conform to the "inheritance is extension" principle of OO design.
