I PROD'd this article for being unsourced. In response, the author of the article / developer of this software added a link to his website, and to a book description page on Barnes and Noble and removed the prod template. The page on Barnes and Noble says 'Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.' - so this cannot be a reliable source. I've looked, and I can't find any independent reliable sources. I believe this article fails the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]].

*'''Delete''' - Was going to suggest redirecting to [[Code Coverage#Tools for Java]] a la [[Cobertura]] which is a very popular open source code coverage tool, but this appears to be an abandoned unfinished project. There isn't even a project website, the link in the article is to Jenkins/Hudson's wiki. --'''[[User:Nintendude64|'''<span style="color:#000099; font-family:Arial Black;">NINTENDUDE</span>]][[User_talk:Nintendude64|^{<span style="color:#FF0000; font-size:small;">64</span>}]]''']] 01:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

* Refering to the abandoned unfinished project, which one, Serenity or Cobertura? Niether are abandoned, and Serenity is still very much alive, and getting more and more popular, 300 downloads a month now. I would imagine that it is being used in at least 100 companies. There has been no development on Serenity as there are no requirements, quite simple it is complete, and I dare say practically bug free. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Michael.couck|Michael.couck]] ([[User talk:Michael.couck|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Michael.couck|contribs]]) 11:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:*'''Comment''' - You mean the same Cobertura that's available on SourceForge, has an Eclipse plugin, and active developer logs as the developers try to find time to release version 2.0? Yeah, it's still an active project. Your project on the other hand doesn't have '''''any''''' reliable third party evidence of its use or even existence. Serenity doesn't have a project website, changelog, anything at all. Even in the Wikipedia article you just have a link to Jenkins' wiki as the project's website. This is probably because your ''actual'' website according to the version 0.1 Maven POM, which I found [http://download.java.net/maven/2/com/ikokoon/serenity/hudson/serenity/0.1/serenity-0.1.pom here] points to some login prompt saying that it'll be opening soon: http://ikokoon.myshopify.com/password. Your links to books are complete and utter '''[[WP:HOAX|hoaxes]]''', they either are unreliable or don't exist. ''Serenity in Action'' is a fake (with a dead link) which is obviously trying to pass itself off as a volume in the very popular ''In Action'' series from [[Manning Publications|Manning]], and "Serenity Book" is a poorly named link to a book called ''Serenity Code Coverage'' that is exclusively Wikipedia content from some academic research publisher according to their research. Now that I've dug a little deeper, it looks like you're constructing a fraud here. But what I do know is that Serenity is completely non-notable by Wikipedia standards. --'''[[User:Nintendude64|'''<span style="color:#000099; font-family:Arial Black;">NINTENDUDE</span>]][[User_talk:Nintendude64|^{<span style="color:#FF0000; font-size:small;">64</span>}]]''']] 20:21, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
