Hi Marvin!

As always: we are happy to get any feedback on how to improve those tests. 
Please note that this is a PERFECT opportunity to get actively involed in the 
DeltaSpike community as well.

I know that there is some sentiment in big companies when it comes to 
contributing to OSS projects. But what those managers do NOT see is that there 
are _huge_ benefits by doing so:

* The problems get fixed exactly where they appear - and you don’t need any 
weird workaround in your own code (which is very ugly, makes your code much 
harder to maintain and is potentially broken with later releases)
* If you got a problem then you can easily make sure it gets fixed. Try that 
with any closed source project ;) Serious, I sometimes did wait up to 1 year 
for important bug fixes in non-OSS projects.
* You get to know the people. So if you really have any troubles then I bet you 
will get a solution and feedback almost imediately.

Please check out the code and maybe you and your team can give us feedback in 
which area we lack tests. Or even provide own tests as well? This is the first 
step to becoming a committer yourself ;)

txs and LieGrue,
strub
