Hi Alex, It's a pitty what you didn't find common sense in my post. Probably I was not clear enough. My key points are: 1. JUnit is much like a standard of unit testing today 2. We are using JUnit already, have thousands of tests 3. May be I was not correct about bugs in TestNG - I assume that it can turn out to be a marvellous tool. I don't have much TestNG experience yet. But IMHO we still need the strong motivation to start such a serious migration process from JUnit to TestNG. Are we really dissatisfied with JUnit so much? 4. Healthy conservatism may have common sense sometimes :)
With best regards,. 2006/7/11, Alex Blewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

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.
