Well one problem with the current build system is the time taken, not only to build it, but to test it, taking around 20 hours. A modular build will speed development, allowing developers to concentrate on one module and the tests applicable to that module.
Incremental compilation works very fast for me. The dependency management in ant is smart enough to see what needs to be recompiled.
As for the testing, i've also looked at modularizing the testing, and i think it will be a impressive undertaking to modularize it in subsystems. Can i expect it to fully work before judging its merits?
The tests can be modularized with the current system anyhow. Just create a category and you have your modularized system. No code changes.
The lenght of the QA is because we need to test everything. That will not change with the new modularization approach.
