The current use of sed in canon based testing makes me nervous, in my
messing around with JUnit and providing a script based test running I
was avoiding use of sed. I believe that sed just provides chances for
bugs to be hidden. The current use of sed for example sed's out all
valid dates just because in a few cases CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is used. Maybe
that was responsible for the bug where seting date values some way never
gave the corect answer, since in the output they alwways appeared as a
fixed string.
