## What it is
FitNesse is a fully integrated, stand-alone acceptance testing framework combined with a wiki, written in Java. It lets teams collaboratively write test tables in wiki pages that execute against the system under test.

## Use cases
- write acceptance tests collaboratively with non-developers
- run acceptance test tables against a Java application
- document system behavior as executable specifications
- set up a self-contained test wiki for a team
- integrate acceptance tests into a Gradle or Maven build

## When to choose
- your team wants business-readable, executable acceptance tests
- you want a wiki and test runner in one self-contained tool
- you develop on the JVM and want tight integration with Java fixtures

## When to avoid
- you need modern BDD tooling with Gherkin syntax
- your stack is not on the JVM and fixture support is limited
- you only need unit or end-to-end browser tests rather than acceptance tables

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: testing, e2e-testing, documentation, http-server
- domain: testing, developer-tools, documentation, web-development
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: acceptance-testing, wiki, fit-framework, collaborative-testing, bdd, web-server
