Jetif, jet another Java testing framework
by Frank Spychalski filed under Java, Work

At TheServerSide there’s a short note about Jetif. As far as I can tell it’s jet another testing framework. It tries to solve the problem of redundant code when testing a method call for multiple values, but I couldn’t find support for anything beyond simple types and arrays. So when my method returns one of my own objects it’s no use. So nice idea, but not enough for me to switch from JUnit…

I was wrong. Now that Vicky mentioned it, I found a paragraph at the bottom of the comparison page saying just that. Still the bonus is not enough to change my existing code, but I’m sure I’ll soon have to write some new tests, where I can give it a try. During the discussion at theserverside.com Vicky mentioned something about a eclipse plugin which will raise my chances of actually using it greatly. Unfortunatly, no info about when it will be available…

    It’s not true
    The simple types and arrays are supportted by built-in handlers, but you can create custom handler to support you own objects.
