I suppose I had unit tests in mind, but there are other kinds of tests we might want to perform for fitness. For example, we have an LDAP improvement at the moment with performance implications. It sure would be nice to be able to count on Jasig resources to test performance characteristics of our code. As I mentioned to Rhett, ApacheDS is not suitable for many of the kinds of testing we need to do. (In fairness, though, it could be used for many of our tests.) As for Hypersonic, we use that presently for our JPA provider in unit tests. Unfortunately there's at least one component (JdbcLockingStrategy) that leverages platform-specific capabilities to implement strict row locking. I'd like to be able to spin up at least the open source databases to be able to run platform-specific tests. Guess the bottom line is that the underlying platform matters in many cases.
