Lars Francke commented on HBASE-3555: ------------------------------------- For what it's worth I too am in favor of TestNG over JUnit. And as Ophir mentioned: The migration path is pretty easy. > Switch to TestNG > ---------------- > > Key: HBASE-3555 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3555 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: ryan rawson > > I have been messing with TestNG and I think we should switch to it. It is > very similar to junit 4 with annotations, but it supports several features > which would allow our build to become slightly more sane: > - test groups allow us to separate slow/fast tests from each other > - surefire support for running specific groups would allow 'check in tests' > vs 'hudson/integration tests' (ie fast/slow) > - it supports all the features of junit 4, plus it is VERY similar, making > for the transition easy. > - they have assertEquals(byte[],byte[]) (!) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
