Yep, I'm a big fan of TestNG. It's annotation driven.
It has a much better model for organizing the tests (into groups) and controlling which tests run when. It can run tests in parallel, which actually makes a difference on dual core monsters like my home desktop. It generates a much more comprehensive HTML report. It allows you to perform setup and teardown for many tests; this allows it to begin to move from pure unit testing towards integration testing. For example, you can start up Jetty, run a bunch of tests against it, then shut it down. You can do similar things for database access. The Eclipse plugin is almost there (relative to the very mature JUnit plugin). On 8/23/06, Henri Dupre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I second that TestNG is no harder to learn than Junit. Actually I find TestNG documentation much better than the current JUnit 4. TestNG has an excellent Eclipse plugin... What I like better about TestNG is that it evolves often and has many more features than JUnit. On 8/22/06, Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Really?
