StrutsTestCase builds on top of Cactus (or MockObjects). In the past, I was a big Cactus fan, and I still like it.
But, nowadays... I prefer to use StrutsTestCase or just the MockObjects that ship with StrutsTestCase. I've used StrutsTestCase to test Actions, TileControllers, and more. I like running StrutsTestCase in Mock mode because the test run very fast, which gives me more feedback more often.

For that project we found that there are two primary testing strategies used in server-side testing: mock object (MO) and in-container (IC). I got a look of what is what but would like to know which approach is generally used more? We also found two open source projects are popular for this testing - Apache Cactus and StrutsTestCase. Now which one should fit better for testing Struts applications? I mean pros and cons. Any comment or lights please?
