maybe some examples will make things clearer...
a functional test suite for IMAP might consist of a script which uses
an IMAP client to perform a number of operations and records their
results. the same functional test suite suite could be used to test
alternative IMAP configurations supported by JAMES (for example
unstaged and SEDA running against torque and JCR backends).
a functional test suite for MailRepository might consist of a script
of operations which calls through the interface and records the
results. the same test suite could be used to ensure that every
implementation is a satisfactory implementation.
Postage was intended to execute functional tests (what I called
end-to-end tests).
And in a way it is, only using very simple messages.
It is _not_ primarily for load/stress tests.
It uses implementations of an interface called MailFactory to generate
mail. The result mail is then checked by a corresponding
MailValidator.
This of course is limited to sending/checking mail. It does not cover
all the functionality beyond pure mail traffic like listing,
directories, moving, searching etc.
On a different note, some user back then noted that it could be
worthwhile to use JMeter as a test container infrastructure.
