My exact statement was referring to TestNG as "probably unstable"
rather than simply "unstable". ;) This statement was based on posts
from Richard Liang about the bug in the TestNG migration tool and on
common sense. If the project has such an obvious bug in one place it
may probably have other bugs in other places. JUnit is quite famous
and widely used toolkit that proved to be stable enough. TestNG is
neither famous nor widely used.
Unfortunately, this isn't terribly correct :-) The purpose of the
JUnit migration tool is to automatically add annotations to an
existing source, and is independent from the test harness itself.
TestNG is also quite famous, and indeed, a lot of what's available in
JUnit4 was based on ideas from TestNG. It's also been around since
August 2004, so it's had almost a couple of years out in the field
(and as the download page [1] shows, it's pretty active). There's also
plugins for any build system you care to name (ant, maven, Eclipse,
IntelliJ) and it's pretty widely adopted in certain areas.
In short, not a terribly common-sense post :-)
Alex.
