> Test cases are difficult to debug if they fail.
> This is because many test cases catch Exception, and don't report it fully.
> Test cases should only catch a (specific) Exception if the test is expected to generate one, and should otherwise throw the Exception.
> Several test cases report problems to System.out or System.err and carry on processing.
> For example, serialisation errors are largely ignored, and SCXMLTestHelper#testExecutorSerializability() ignores IO errors.
> Testing generates a lot of output, some of which appears to be errors (e.g. stack traces) yet the test passes.
> Ideally tests should suppress output stack traces which are expected during testing.
