[Classpathx-discuss] Testing Frameworks

[cowboyd]

I think the answer is a clear "yes" in the case of JUnit (which is why I
use it for most of my development)

to summarize the reasons the answer is yes

-- no human judgement is required analyze test results
-- output is formatted consistently to avoid "scroll blindness"
-- because JUnit uses the composite pattern for its tests cases, it is easy
to incorporate pre-existing test cases into new ones.
-- provides facilities for setting up test fixtures to maintain a constant
environment across many test cases.

Responses?

I've worked with test harnesses where the answer is a clear "yes",
because of report generation or other virtues.  Dunno if that's so
for jUnit.
