0 +virtorio MVC Posted February 26, 2014 MVC Share Posted February 26, 2014 Netbeans. Software developed in java. The testing framework you'll probably want to work with is JUnit. I found this tutorial for using JUnit with NetBeans: https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/junit-intro.html I can't answer Java specific questions, but if you have any general unit testing questions I can try answering them.
