Here’s an example of calling Fit tests defined in Fitnesse from Ant. This can be called from a continuous integration server like cruise control, hudson, bamboo, luntbuild, pmeasy:

<target name="fitnesse-tests"
           description="fitnesse-tests target can be called from CC"
           depends="custom-init, compile-fit"
>
 
 <java classname="fitnesse.runner.TestRunner"
           fork="true" resultproperty="FitRegressionResult">
    <arg line="-results fit-tests/reports/fitnesse-results.html
          10.99.99.99 80 FitnessePageName"/>
    <classpath><path refid="custom.classpath" /></classpath>
 </java>
<!-- xml file processed by cruise control -->
 <java classname="fitnesse.runner.FormattingOption" fork="true">
  <arg line="fit-tests/reports/fitnesse-results.html xml
             ${fit.report.dir}/fit-results.xml
             10.99.99.99 80 FitnessePageName"/>
  <classpath><path refid="custom.classpath" /></classpath>
 </java>
 
 <!-- fail if any fit test errors -->
 <condition property="fit-failures">
   <equals arg1="${FitRegressionResult}" arg2="0"/>
 </condition>
 <fail message="${FitRegressionResult} Fitnesse test(s) failed."
        unless="fit-failures" />
</target>

Fitnesse is an excellent communication and collaboration tool between developers, QA and clients. It works well in agile development environments where emphasis and priority is put on automating tests.
