Run JUnit Tests through web page

We would like to have a set of tests as part of our web application. The tests will be used for analyzing the health status of the application, so a support person or a scheduler can run the test to see if the application itself and various required remote systems are available.

I have seen this being done using some kind of webbased JUnit frontend, it allowed to run tests and reported the results as HTML. This would be great because the developers know JUnit, but I couldn't find the library in the intertubes.

Where can I find a library doing this?

You should look for a Continous Integration tool like Jenkin.

What you're probably looking for is CruiseControl.Net - it combines with NUnit/JUnit etc to make an automated testing framework with HTML reporting tools and a tray app for your desktop as well. I actually just downloaded it again an hour ago for a new role - it's really good.

It can be used to run anything from unit tests to getting files from source control, to kicking off compiler builds or rebooting servers (when used with NAnt - a .Net build tool).

Update: If you're looking for a tool to check your servers and applications every few minutes for availability check out Nagios.

Maybe you mean some kind of acceptance test tool. If so, have a look at Fitnesse.

You can use some free services to verify the availability of your system. Here are two that I've used:

Another thing you can take a look at is JMeter, but it does not have a web UI.

Original answer:

Perhaps you mean functional tests (that can be run through JUnit). Take a look at Selenium - it's web functional testing tool.

(Note that these are not unit tests. They don't test individual units of the code. Furthermore unit tests are executed at build time, not at runtime.)

If you already have a set of tests composed and ready to run, then Hudson can run those tests on a schedule and report on the results.

Bozho is correct, these are not unit tests but I have done something similar. At my company I am not the one that ultimately deploys these things to our test environment or production environment. During development I create a couple of servlets that test things like it can get a valid database connection, it can hit our AD server etc. It than basically prints out a message and indicates success or failure.

That way when I have the code deployed to one of our environments, I can have the person deploying it hit the URL and make sure everything comes back OK. When I get ready to do the final deployment I just remove the servlet config.
