Preface
This guide describes how to install, configure, and run the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) that is used to test the {TechnologyFullName} ({TechnologyShortName} {TechnologyVersion}) (JSR {JSR}) technology. The {TechnologyShortName} TCK is a portable, configurable automated test suite for verifying the compatibility of a licensee's implementation of the {TechnologyShortName} {TechnologyVersion} Specification (hereafter referred to as the licensee implementation). The {TechnologyShortName} TCK uses the JavaTest harness version {JavaTestVersion} to run the test suite [NOTE] ======================================================================= Note All references to specific Web URLs are given for the sake of your convenience in locating the resources quickly.
