Re: Running unit tests by package

[Mick Semb Wever]

Let's also remove the duplicated ant targets, pointing users instead to the 
scripts for such needed custom invocations.  In build.xml it would be very nice 
to have just one way tests are run.

Re: Running unit tests by package

[Josh McKenzie]

I could also see value in adding a little help output to give examples on 
regex-based test selection. Also - when we run "ant testsome" in the base of 
the project it just starts to run things instead of kicking out help text to 
give guidance on how to run a subset of tests.

Generally speaking, I think we could probably really improve the 
discoverability of how to run a subset of tests and/or get involved with 
developing in this space.

There'd be some value in selectively referencing some of the tools in 
there, or at least mentioning their existence.


Let me get a little more familiar with what's in that directory and pull 
up the juiciest-looking examples into the testing doc.


Thanks -- Joel.

There anything in that README that we could/should promote to
