Downloading the FitNesse server:

Fitnesse是基于Java的接口测试工具，此工具以单个可执行 jar 文件的方式封装和运行。下载链接：官网 http://www.fitnesse.org/ 或者直接点击：

http://www.fitnesse.org/fitnesse-standalone.jar?responder=releaseDownload&release=20151230

As indicated on the above website, it comes in 2 flavors:

jar which is for use in Maven or Ivy.
For the users who just want to run FitNesse by itself. They should download fitnesse-standalone.jar which comes with all dependencies (support libraries) included.

Here, we are going to download fitnesse-standalone.jar for official release 20151230 which is 4.6 MB in size.

Installing the FitNesse server on machine:

Pre-requsite to install or put standalone jar into work, it requires Java runtime environment (JRE) installed on the machine (laptop or PC). Use below steps to start the server once you successfully download.

Step 1: Open the windows command prompt and change the directory where the downloaded standalone jar is copied. Next in order to run this jar file execute the following command, refer below:

java –jar fitnesse-standalone.jar –p 80

This command will attempt to execute the jar file and the web server welcome page will be available at the localhost URL at the port 80. If port 80 is already in use for a machine then it could be changed by giving the appropriate available port number (e.g. –p 9090, etc.)

Step 2: After entering the above java jar executable command, press enter. Jar file will get executed which will start the embedded web server at the URL http://localhost:9090/. As discussed earlier the embedded web server is lightweight and simple to use.

It will take quite a while to start the embedded web server as shown in the below screenshot.

Step3: 此时已经启动成功，只需打开本地连接：http://localhost:9090/ 即可进入fitnesse front page.

Kick-Start work on FitNesse Server:

At the left top corner of the front page there are three buttons and below are their functional descriptions.

Edit:

On click of Edit button, server will allow to edit the page content. Here we can add, modify or remove the contents from the page, once completed we can click on the save button to save the content. Modified content will be visible immediately and it does not require the stop and start of the web server.

Add:

This Add button allows to add a page into FitNesse. You can provide the Page name by entering the text, select the radio buttons present on the page as Static, Test, Suite and Default through which we can directly define the page type, enter the help text, tags and the formatted contents on the web page. Once completed you need to click on the Save button to save the new page contents and this page will be available immediately. Refer below screenshot for the layout of page.

Tools:

On mouse hover over the Tools button, the dropdown menu will be visible showing the options such as Properties, Where Used, Versions, Files, Search, Recent Changes and User Guide.

Properties:

On clicking on the Properties button of the drop down menu, below properties page will visible where you can set the properties of the current page on which this button was present.

Where used:

when clicked, it will do the search operation and gather the pages where the current page is referring to.
