[Jtestcase-devel] Re: New JTestCase feature : Jice integration

[Charley B. <cha...@us...>]

Fausto & Timo,

  Congratulations on integrating Jice into JTestCase. I can't wait to 
try it out. This is one of the other benefits of the framework I have. I 
needed a way to generate large object graphs of dtos for the web app 
that I'm testing and have two current solutions - castor and a custom 
dto generator to translate the xml into objects. I was starting to move 
to Spring's bean factory to create the object graphs, but now I'll wait 
for the Jice integration. We seem to be on the same path as far as 
thoughts about extending JTestCase. :)

  One of the other areas that  my framework covers is instantiating test 
cases and adding them to a suite on the fly for either cactus or 
straight junit client tests using reflection.  Suites, classes or 
specific tests are set up in a property file with a scope dictating 
which level to run - suite, method, class. This is one area where junit 
fails and the integration with TestNG will help.

 You seem to be on a roll with improvements! It's inspiring, might be 
time for a roadmap of possibilities for JTestCase.
