BTW, after brief browsing of the JUnit 4.0 documentation I didn't find any extra *grouping* capabilities (comparing to JUnit 3.8.1). Only old TestSuites. Does anybody have more information about this?
I will take a look at JUnit 4.0 and TestNG as well. ...

I don't think test characteristics (do you mean groups?) can be changed by itself. I mean Linux -specific test can't immediately become Windows-specific, it needs someone to update the code.
Right, I just mean that tracking file movement is easier then tracking what changed in source code. This in my opinion is minor, but still cons. After discussing metadata vs. directory layout I want to compose our needs and requirements to harness which would fit the needs and take a look at JUnit 4.0 vs. TestNG vs. these requirements. Thanks, Vladimir
