Summary: @RunWith(LightweightParameters)

Initial Comment:
The intended use of Parameterized unit tests is for large amounts of data. With this in mind the most time-efficient convention to refer to an individual parameter is by index, i.e. "myTest[3912]". 

In cases where the data is a much smaller set and the user is willing to take a small performance hit, it would be nice to be able to refer to/see the parameters by a name, i.e. "myTest['testTwoPlusTwo']", "myTest['searchWithLastNameOnly']", etc.

As was discussed on the JUnit mailing list ("Which parameter in my list failed?", 2007-01-29), something like a "@RunWith(LightweightParameters)" or "@RunWith(NamedParameters)", which would "look for a getTestName() method on the test object in order to create a test name" may be a good solution.

Tibor,

We could potentially build a method-renaming facility into the runners
that ship with JUnit, but we would still have no control over third-party
runners.  If you have a particular use case in mind, consider opening
another feature request.  Thanks,

   David Saff

Hi,

This would be a great feature to be able to override the description of a
test that should be used/displayed by all the runners.
I would highly appreciate if this description could be set programatically
to any string not only for parameterized tests, but for any kind of tests.

Best regards,
Tibor

I would also very much prefer such an option.

As an alternative, maybe the existing Parameterized runner could have an
option to include the parameters in its description. Example:
"testAdd[0]: 1, 2, 3"
"testAdd[1]: 2, 2, 4"
