Will close 412, I haven't used JsTester, but when it comes to wire protocols, I (personally) like testing on the wire. Eg bring up Jetty in a unit test and in another thread run a battery of HttpUnit tests. I cant remember if httpunit really needs a container or not, although I have tended to use it with one.
The other thing about HttpUnit it is enables a fully detached testing mode which can be written to the spec, rather than being tempted to bind to the implementation, and it also adds the opportunity to build rudimentary long running load tests, which can be run on separate cpu's. In one or 2 occasions I have found this identified concurrency issues there were hidden by OS level context switching. but, perhaps both have a place, can anyone comment on JsTester ?
