Theoretically yes and I know Hadrian was already experimenting with that
but we are quite conservative with that. You can easily have occasional
test failures then that take a lot of time to find and fix.

Can they be run in parallel - or can modules be run in parallel - that could

I think it is only named wrong. The camel test support is written to
support integration
tests not unit tests.
I think it is a very good idea to write real unit tests and integration
tests. The unit tests are extremly fast and give you a first security. Still
the integration tests are very important as many errors can only be spotted
this way.
I think at the moment camel uses a quite pragmatic test concept. Each
component comes with unit tests and integration tests. As long as the tests
are fast I think there is no big problem with that.
All in all the problem is though that a whole camel build takes aroung 4
hours. So we might really be able to do that better. A problem here is
though the big number of components we have.

Some would argue that a unit test per definition tests the unit completely
standalone. Using JUnit this is easy, especially when combined with
Spring,
i.e. you can isolate your bean and test each method directly.
The Camel Junit on the other hand test the unit as part of a camle route.
Even if the route is very simple such as
<route>
<from uri="direct:in"/>
<to uri="bean:myBean"/>
<to uri="mock:out"/>
</route>
Still, It's testing my bean in a context that is more than just using the
bean methods.
The Camel in Action book 'only' list on benefit of using Camel Junit
tests,
namely simplification of the unit tests. I would like to hear what the
rest
of you do / think.
- Do you use only Camel Junit tests using routes?
- Do you use 'normal' method oriented JUnit tests for low level tests of
individual methods combined with Camel Unit tests for
'component/application' level testing?
- Do you see a conceptual problem in unit testing using Camel JUnit?
