Sweeter Suites

[Rod Macpherson <rm...@abovehealth.com>]

Would something like this be worth adding to cactus? I cobbled together
a class called MethodTestSuite that dynamically creates tests based on a
method name. Granted, it's just syntatic sugar for
suite.add(newMyTestSuite("myMethod")) which I found rather tart:)

public class MyTestSuite extends TestCase 
{
	public static Test suite()
	{
		MethodTestSuite suite = new
MethodTestSuite(MyTestSuite.class);
		
		suite.add("testDial");
		suite.add("testConnect");
		suite.add("testDisconnect");

		return suite;
	}
	...
}

Thanks for the proposal. Personally I don't think it fits in the Cactus
project. I don't see anything related to Cactus there. I do see stuff
related to JUnit though but JUnit is a different project...

It doesn't buy you much I think and also it doesn't support Test suite
constructors that take more than a string parameter. Anyway that's a junit
topic.

Thanks
