yes thats a good point on iMake On the java side of the house I like junit HttpUnit and testsgen which will read your java code and automatically create wither junit or httpunit testcases for you which if you configured your build correctly can be part of the build e.g. <d/l source from repository> <javac> <create testcase> <compile testcase> <run testcase> <generate xml listing all categories of errors> <XSLTTransform of XML to html using some predefined template>
