[Junit-devel] getName()

[Kent B. <ken...@cs...>]

It seems like we want a method that means "get the displayable name of this
implementor of Test". getName() could be it, but it would change the
semantics in TestCase. If we want to do this, we should first deprecate
getName and define a new method (getDisplayName()?), then in the next
release delete getName, then in the next release deprecate getDisplayName
and rename it to getName, then in the next release delete getDisplayName.
Or, we could just add getDisplayName (or some such) to Test and implement it
in TestCase, TestSuite, and TestDecorator. I vote for the latter.

I also hate the redundant "get", so I would call it displayName, but I'm
willing to defer to the collective "wisdom" of the Java community on this
one. Barely.
