Abstract
One of the main requirements of eXtreme programming (XP) is to do unit testing be a critical task of the daily development routine of a programmer. Our work aims at contributing to make easier the actual practice of this requirement in the framework of distributed computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and in an education context. The proposed XP test environment is used as a basic mechanism for structuring the XP process in a distributed context. As an experimental prototype, we propose a Junit and JML based unit testing environment as an extension of the BlueJ Interactive Environment.
