Thanks to Michal Wojcik for completing the port of FitServer to Delphi. Going forward you can get the code from http://code.google.com/p/fit4delphi/.

All the major fixtures have been ported (Column Fixture, Row Fixture, Action Fixture, Table Fixture, Row Entry Fixture).

What does this mean to you? Check out The Need for Automated Acceptance Testing. FitNesse is a tool created to fit this need (no pun intended).

What’s great about automated acceptance testing? In short: concrete examples straight from the customer. FitNesse is also a way to get executable specifications. FitNesse does its work in the form of a wiki. You can organize tests into hierarchal test suites that are editable the way any wiki is. This provides a familiar and friendly interface for non-technical types. All of this adds up to an environment in which tests can be written and organized in such a way that they specify desired functionality before the code is written and serve as documentation after the fact. No more having to interpret written specs into tests and production code.

It takes some training both on the developer’s part and the customer’s part but it’s well worth the effort.
