For unit testing, we actually use PlayOrm which has an in-memory version of nosql so we just write unit tests against our code which uses the in-memory version but that is only if you are in java. Later, Dean

My bad that I mixed those up and wasn't clear enough. Yes, I have different 2 requests/questions. 1) One is for the unit testing. 2) Second (in which I am more interested in) is for performance (stress/load) testing. Let us keep integration aside for now. I do see some stuff out there but wanted to know recommendations from the community given their experience.

Unit tests should not take more than a few milliseconds to set up and verify their assertions. As such, if your code is not factored well for testing, you would typically use mocking (either by hand, or with mocking libraries) to mock out the bits not under test. Extensive use of mocks is usually a smell of code that is not well designed *for testing* If you intend to test components integrated together... That is integration testing. If you intend to test performance of the whole or significant parts of the whole... That is performance testing. When searching for the above, you will not get much luck if you are looking for them in the context of "unit testing" as those things are *outside the scope of unit testing" On Wednesday, 19 June 2013, Shahab Yunus wrote: Hello, Can anyone suggest a good/popular Unit Test tools/frameworks/utilities out there for unit testing Cassandra stores?
