[Jtestcase-devel] JUnit, TestNG and ForTestCase destiny

[Fausto L. <fau...@ho...>]

Hi all,

The lastest release of JTestCase was important in my eyes mainly for a 
specific feature:
it got rid of most of all junit dependence that was still lurking around.

JUnit is known to have some design flaws, as you can read, for example,
here: http://www.beust.com/weblog/archives/000082.html

Even Charley, who is writing in the forum, has admittedly said that his 
company
developed a testing frawork (based on jtestcase) that "tried to cope with 
some
junit deficiences"

Now for the matter of this email: the class ForTestCase has some direct 
junit imports
and even extends a junit TestCase. Instead I would like to build
jtestcase even without importing junit jar !!

So I am thinking about to deprecate that class in the future release. Of 
course, if someone
can port it to a non junit dependend form, i'll be the happiest person on 
the earth (well,
maybe amongst the happiest..)

I really don't like to boss like this on other's work, but I think this a 
very profound and
meaning point.

On the other hand, i'm trying to integrate jtestcase in testng, 
http://testng.org/doc/,
which is a new testing framework that claims to resolve most of junit 
limitations.

The first result seems encouraging.

Phew, i said it all.... Let me know what you think.

Greetings, Fausto
