Partitioning/naming of test classes for differing xUnit tests?

[An...@smartstream-stp.com]

Hi,

A bit of a theoretical question as I haven't got as far as having a
specific problem yet... :-)

What is the recommended way of partitioning your test code so that
different software such as Cactus, StrutsTestCase, JUnit can each run the
tests associated with them?  We currently have a few standard JUnit tests,
all in a mirrored 'test' directory alongside our source tree, where the
tests are named along the lines of 'xxxxxTest.java'.   Now we want to start
using Cactus and StrutsTestCase (and possibly TagUnit) to run more complex
tests but I'm not sure how best to split the test classes so that our Ant
build script can have each test framework run the relevant tests.

Any advice on the above would be appreciated as I've not found much help on
this on the web so far.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

The way I do it is by having separate source tree. For example:

<my project>
  |_ src
    |_ main
      |_ <package>
    |_ test         (pure junit tests)
      |_ <package>
    |_ test-cactus  (cactus tests)
      |_ <package>
    |_ test-aspect  (unit tests using AOP)
      |_ <package>
    |_ [...]

Hope it helps,
-Vincent
