>From the junit.org website:
JUnit is a regression testing framework written by Erich
Gamma and Kent Beck. It is used by the developer who
implements unit tests in Java.
I don't want to get into a discussion of whether JUnit is
good or bad that will get us as far as a discussion on
which editor everyone should use (which of course there
is just one clear choice - the one I use 8-)
But from by quick glances at JUnit what struck me was that
it seems like a test tool for the "Java Developer" not
a "Tester". I could be wrong, but it appears that you have
to write Java code in order to create new testcases. That
might be a fine way to go, but I prefer to have something
a non-programmer could use. I wrote my test tool with the
premise that it would be used by a testing department which
may or may not have any programming skills, and by keeping
it nontechnical (or as much as possible) it can be used
by a wider range of people - including developers.
Just a personal choice, but I think you should be able to
add new testcases with the minimal amount of effort and
having to write Java code doesn't fit that bill, IMHO.

What would it take to make JUnit address your needs?
I'm tired of hearing people start new projects without also giving details
about exactly why they can't do the work to make existing projects more
compatible for their needs.
thanks,
