The fully integrated standalone wiki, and acceptance testing framework.

There is a newer version: 20250223

FitNesse is a wiki server. It's also a test execution engine.

In this section the application structure is described. The application can be divided in four main components:

 * [[Wiki server][#wikiserver]]
 * [[Test execution engine][#testsystem]]
 * [[System under test][#systemundertest]] (SUT)
 * [[Reporting engine][#testreporting]]

The wiki server is the component responsible for serving the web pages and handling user requests. One of the operations is starting a test run. This will start the system under test with some extra code: the Fit or Slim server. The output of the test run is stored to serve the page and test history pages.Next to the main components, there are a few extra features:

 * JUnit support
 * [[System configuration][#systemconfiguration]]
