Well, again -- these tests are minimal guarantees that certain base
features work as advertised. It would be very sloppy of us if we
didn't have assurance that they worked. We could, of course, do the
testing by hand.
By the way, having poked around a bit with JMeter this past weekend, I
must tell you that I am not a fan. It is overly complex, in my
opinion, and worst of all we can't see the results when running tests
from the Ant scripts; you have to open up the result HTML pages and
inspect them visually.
To fix the web unit testing conundrum, I'd much rather see us do one
of two things. First, we could re-write the tests in HttpUnit (which
is what JWebunit is layered on top of). The problem is that HttpUnit
is a bit complex.
Alternatively. we could also use something like Selenium, which I've
heard good things about. It's Apache 2.0 licensed and can run under
JUnit control. Check the "Programming a Selenium RC Test" Java
section. It's my kind of tool: nice and simple.

Are we wedded to JMeter at this point?

Andrew,
Also I've not touched the JWebunit code over the last months.
Actually, so far I've not been able to get the web junits running at
all.

I need to check the web unit tests (both the JWebunit ones, and the

JWebunit tests failed all over the place -- which didn't give me lots
of confidence. Those tests are minimal guarantees that adding pages,
logging in, cookie assertions, group permissions and memberships,
etc.
actually work as advertised.
-1 until our legacy web unit tests run successfully (which they might
already). Dirk and Janne, please advise if my impressions are
mistaken. (I've not touched the JWebunit code in the last several
months...)

How long do you need? I was planning to wait until enough +1's
(three or
so) and no -1's...
Oh, probably a couple of days, Wednesday at latest.
