I have already been using this for over a year now: http://cvs.surefire.codehaus.org/surefire/ Which was originally based on: http://www.artima.com/suiterunner/ Some of their reasons are outlined here: http://www.artima.com/suiterunner/why.html Some other contributing reasons the ease with which scriptable testing is with surefire: I have little jython module that I used before groovy came into existence but I will make a groovy module. That said it absorbs all JUnit tests, it's really just another test runner. Surefire has its own notions for testing which are borrowed from Suiterunner but 90% of tests I've written and used with it so far and used with Surefire are JUnit tests. Currently I'm getting the Groovy tests to run with Surefire and they require no forking due to the classloader isolation provided by Surefire. Bottom line is that anyone using JUnit constructs aren't affected but you get the benefit Surefire Batteries for which I have little jython scripted web functional/acceptance testing modules and a little xmlrpc module right now and things like a fixture for an entire test. In any case after a year - 18 months of using Surefire I'm not turning back now. The Artima SuiteRunner site makes a case for a new generation of testing framework. And many have always been annoyed with JUnit as Cedric has made something else too: http://beust.com/testng/. All the tests for maven-components are JUnit tests, but they are execute by Surefire. I will eventually convert them to Batteries in order to script them/generate parts of them which is easy with Surefire and I would also like to incorporate some of Cedric's ideas like testing groups and any other cool notions he comes up with. -- jvz.
