[转载]Java TCK

TCK, or Technology Compatibility Kit, is actually a full suite of tools, tests, and documentation. These are used to verify the compatability of Sun's KVM technology on a given device and ensure conformity with the established standards and specifications set by Sun. TCK ensures that all Java enabled devices exhibit consistent behaviors across all implementations of the Java KVM. Unlike traditional product testing that may be mostly concerned with robustness, performance, or ease of use, TCK testing is aimed primarily at testing a 3rd party's implementation of Sun's KVM technology against the established criteria or specifications. TCK is, in reality, a conformance test designed to ensure correctness, completeness, and consistency across different implementations of the KVM technology. In order for a device to receive the Java certification logo, Sun requires that it must first pass TCK. This ensures all Java devices will be compatible with established standards.
