The first thing that occurred to me when I started reading the testing thread is that we're talking about at least two, if not more, different kinds of testing here. The immediate need is straight up vanilla unit testing and it should be kept separate from specification compliance testing. It's easy enough to keep the two separate by maintaining the tests in distinct directory trees. Ultimately, some sepcification tests will alse be more basic unit tests, but they should be kept with the other spec-related tests. There will be plenty of classes and methods that have nothing to do with the specification and all of those will require testing. daniel
