Andrew, That's great. You are really quick. I was still thinking when your solution came up. I was able to build the project and run tests one by one, though I wasn't able to use the perfect Eclipse plugin for JUnit tests. Probably it could make sense to use just an ordinary junit for testing p-unit itself. 1. I've just realized that I cannot link stress tests with p-unit while it is GPLed. So it's better to change a license. GPL with exception is ok, but it's safer to have BSD-like license. Actually this is the only comment which prevents me from using punit, all others are mostly for better understanding of your concept.
Hi Alexei, No problem. I'll change the license for the next release! AL2.0 should be safe, right? 2. Do you think "toStop" and "toAbort" from my requirements are the
best terms? We can change them until there is not too much code developed. A typical use case is the following. I give a test a fair time to loop (= first timer) and a small type to stop gracefully (= second timer). The variant named them "toWork", "toAbort". Another variant which comes to my mind is "toLoop", "toStop". What do you think?
3. What do you think of using junit.extensions.TestDecorator for
building complex tests on the top of the primitive ones?
I must miss something here. For which scenario(Loop or Concurrent?), do we need toAbort? As my understanding, tearDown will stop the test case gracefully. Do we need this special setting? (But I saw the same requirement before, because the user's logic code is dependent of timestamp, and the test runner have to be slow enough to run it concurrently :) ) Thanks!
