Chuan Liu commented on HADOOP-8453:
-----------------------------------
We have thought about writing JUnit tests first. However, it seems there is no
precedent in Hadoop to test C/C++ projects using JUnit directly. Other C/C++
projects use shell scripts or C/C++ code for testing. That is the reason I
choose batch script. If this is not the case, we can add JUnit tests as well,
e.g. TestWinutils.java. Another route may be to extend existing test for Java
interface and test 'winutils' indirectly. For example, we can add more test
cases to TestShell.java and test 'winutils' commands from there. What is your
thought?

> In [Hadoop-8235|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8235], we
> created a Windows console program, named ‘winutils’, to emulate some Linux
> command line utilities used by Hadoop. However no tests are provided in the
> original patch. As this code is quite complicated, and the complexity may
> even grow up in the future. We think unit tests are necessary to ensure code
> quality, as well as smooth future development.
