The JavaTest harness (or jtreg) is a regression tests framework specifically designed by Sun Microsystems to tests the reference Java platform implementation[2].

Although jtreg was originally designed to execute Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) compliance tests, it is not designed to check compliance of a particular Java implementation to the specification, but to test any regressions suite for the Java platform[2].

Being developed prior to JUnit existence, jtreg was initially not compatible with JUnit tests syntax[2], but later versions added a limited compatibility with JUnit[3].

Use in OpenJDK

OpenJDK, the open source implementation of the Java programming language[4] encourage the use of jtreg tests for patchs submissions[5].
