[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4901) Upgrade to JUnit 4

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4901?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12657680#action_12657680 ] 

Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-4901:
-------------------------------------

Or should we consider TestNG? It would be nice to be able to categorize tests into 1 or more categories (smoke, nightly, dfs, mapred, etc). Not sure JUnit 4 can do this, but TestNG can. 

On the other hand, TestNG seems to lack the nice console output controls that JUnit provides.

> Amongst other things, JUnit 4 has better support for class-wide set up and tear down (via @BeforeClass and @AfterClass annotations), and more flexible assertions (http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/ReleaseNotes4.4.html). It would be nice to be able to take advantage of these features in tests we write.
> JUnit 4 can run tests written for JUnit 3.8.1 without any changes.
