  10 The test framework for GNU Classpath is called
  11 <createlink url="http://sources.redhat.com/mauve/" name="Mauve">.  There
  12 are instructions within the Mauve website on how to download and use Mauve.
  13 Writing Mauve tests is the most important thing GNU Classpath developers
  14 could do for the project at this time.

  17 Java API compatibility testing can be performed using
  18 <createlink url="http://www.kaffe.org/~stuart/japi/"
  19 name="japitools">.  Japitools already does
  20 full API comparisons but it doesn't have the capability to extract
  21 APIs from the documentation - instead, the "japize" tool uses the
  22 jode.bytecode library to identify the public members of a given set of
  23 packages from the binary jars or zips.  But japitools does separate the
  24 API-inspection phase ("japize") from the compatibility-testing phase
  25 ("japicompat") so it would be easy to offer an alternative to japize
  26 that worked on API documentation.

  29 Another method of API compatibility testing is to use <createlink
  30 url="http://majestix.ucnet.uoc.gr/~jgeorgal/pub/jdiff.sh"
  31 name="jdiff.sh">, at least until this functionality is merged into
  32 japitools.

  38 Many free benchmarks are available. Benchmarks are a good way to test the functionality of a VM and at the same time get results that can be compared.
