Recently I've started using JUnit, the unit testing framework for Java, and
am very pleased with it. I've started thinking about what features would be
needed in JDE to make working with it easier. I know that there are some on
the JDE list that are using JUnit and I would like to know what others are
doing with it.
For starters I'd like to suggest that there be commands and options to run
JUnit that parallel the Run App command and options. Currently I've dealt
with that problem by having my test classes in a subdirectory with their
own project file and run options. However there are advantages to having
the test classes in the same directory as the classes being tested.
There could be some wizzards for assisting in creating a test. I.E.
generate the test method skeleton and add a reference to the test in the
"public Test suite()" method if one exists.
For those of you not familiar with JUnit and its testing methodology,
browse over to http://www.xprogramming.com/default.htm for some interesting
reading.
Anyone else care to comment on this?
