== Spring Data Test Framework for Spring Data GemFire and Spring Data for Apache Geode

This project is a new _Spring Data_ module building on _Spring's_
`TestContext` Framework for writing _Unit_ and _Integration_ Tests
for both _Spring Data_ for https://pivotal.io/pivotal-gemfire[Pivotal GemFire]
as well as _Spring Data_ for http://geode.apache.org/[Apache Geode].

This project was born from http://projects.spring.io/spring-data-gemfire/[_Spring Data GemFire's_]
(https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-gemfire[GitHub project])
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-gemfire/tree/2.0.5.RELEASE/src/test/java/org/springframework/data/gemfire/test[test framework].
This _test framework_ is used in SDG's test suite to test the proper
function of Pivotal GemFire or Apache Geode when used in
a _Spring_ context.

For many years, users have asked for a way to test their Pivotal GemFire
or Apache Geode-based, _Spring_ applications, whether writing _Unit_
or _Integrations_ tests.  This project is the answer.

This **new** project is still under development.
