The Jakarta REST TCK is a standalone kit for testing compliance of an implementation with the Jakarta REST specification.

Note: This TCK contains only tests being added since Jakarta REST 3.0. To proof compliance as part of a certification review, additional test have to be performed. Those are part of the Jakarta Platform TCK for historic reasons.

While the test kit is not dependent of Maven, the most easy way to perform the tests is to create a copy of the sample Maven project found in the jersey-tck folder and adjust it to the actual needs of the implementation to be actually tested:

• Replace the dependency to Jersey by a dependency to the implementation to be actually tested.
• Execute mvn verify.
• Find the test result as part of Maven's output on the console or refer to the surefire reports.

Note: Certainly the same can be performed using other build tools, like Gradle, or even by running a standalone Jupiter API compatible test runner (e. g. JUnit 5 Console Runner), as long as the Jakarta REST TCK JAR file and the implementation to test are both found on the classpath.

Hint: The test project can safely get stored as part of the implementation, so it can be easily executed as part of the QA process.
