This document introduces the Acando FASIT tool, a framework for automated system integration tests. It is a web-based wiki interface built on the FitNesse open source testing framework. Acando FASIT provides benefits such as ease of access and use, an overview of test cases in a hierarchical structure, configurable templates, support for various protocols and functionality, and clear presentation of test results. It allows decoupling of system knowledge from test authoring and reduces reliance on specific individuals. The document advocates aligning Acando FASIT with development and change processes.

2. Have you ever…?
•
…deployed a small change into production only to find out that other functionalities or processes suddenly go crazy?
•
…run an integration migration project and found that a lot of time and cost was spent on trying to provide the
developers with proper data and information?
•
…spent hours figuring out how to test an integration you know your out-of-office colleague would know in a heartbeat?
•
…cursed the one million different excel-sheets describing your test cases?
•
…noticed how, as a maintenance organization, the start-up-time of a support ticket seems always to be too long?

12. Why Acando FASIT?
•
Decoupling system knowledge and test tool usage– Using the Acando FASIT does not require to be a system developer of the system
under test.
•
Lesser dependence of person – By having the test cases accessible and executable to anyone, dependence of specific personnel is
minimized. The standardization through templates provides for a unified way of writing test cases.

13. Why Acando FASIT?
•
Alignment to development and change processes
•
Part of development process – Preferably the creation of the test cases in FitNesse is aligned to be a mandatory part of the development
process. Build once – use forever!
•
Change requirement – The presence of test cases and test reports should be a requirement in the change process as to pass before any
deployments to a test or production environments are approved.
