[jira] Commented: (HBASE-3555) Switch to TestNG

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3555?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12998178#comment-12998178 ] 

Lars George commented on HBASE-3555:
------------------------------------

+1, they also have injection support, which can be used to specify data providers to create test data based on the method name calling on the injection.

> I have been messing with TestNG and I think we should switch to it.  It is very similar to junit 4 with annotations, but it supports several features which would allow our build to become slightly more sane:
> - test groups allow us to separate slow/fast tests from each other
> - surefire support for running specific groups would allow 'check in tests' vs 'hudson/integration tests' (ie fast/slow)
> - it supports all the features of junit 4, plus it is VERY similar, making for the transition easy.
> - they have assertEquals(byte[],byte[]) (!)
