Philip Zeyliger commented on HADOOP-4901: ----------------------------------------- I believe one of our goals is to be able to "label" tests as "smoke", "fast", "slow", etc. One way to approach this, even with JUnit3, is to use Java annotations, and then query for them with something like http://developer.android.com/reference/android/test/suitebuilder/TestSuiteBuilder.html . We could easily cook up something similar. > Upgrade to JUnit 4 > ------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4901 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4901 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: test > Reporter: Tom White > Assignee: Alex Loddengaard > > Amongst other things, JUnit 4 has better support for class-wide set up and > tear down (via @BeforeClass and @AfterClass annotations), and more flexible > assertions (http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/ReleaseNotes4.4.html). It would > be nice to be able to take advantage of these features in tests we write. > JUnit 4 can run tests written for JUnit 3.8.1 without any changes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
