> The module {{Commons Testing}} seems to be rather old and not too actively maintained. For most (if not all) of its classes there are nowadays better replacements:
> For the individual packages I consider the following alternatives the better choices
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.integration}}: Teleporter or the [org.apache.sling.testing.clients|https://github.com/apache/sling/tree/trunk/testing/http/clients] should be used preferably instantiated through [Sling HTTP testing rules|https://github.com/apache/sling/tree/trunk/testing/junit/rules].
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}}: jcr-mock should be used instead
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.junit}}: the retry logic from the [Sling HTTP Testing Client|https://github.com/apache/sling/tree/trunk/testing/http/clients] should be used.
> # # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.junit.categories}}: {{o.a.s.testing.junit.rules.category.SlowRunningTest}} from [Sling HTTP testing rules|https://github.com/apache/sling/tree/trunk/testing/junit/rules]. should be used instead.
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.osgi}}: osgi-mock should be used instead
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.sling}}: sling-mock should be used instead
> # {{org.apache.sling.commons.testing.util}}: if really useful can maybe moved to sling-mock as well, but probably not that useful. Currently {{TestStringUtil}} is [not used at all|https://github.com/apache/sling/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=TestStringUtil.&type=]  and {{JavascriptEngine}} is only used from {{o.a.s.commons.testing.integration}}.
> In addition there are certain limitations in that module which are not easy to fix:
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}} uses Jackrabbit 2 only and never Oak, that means that the ITs based on those classes are pretty far away from what we ship now in Sling.
> # {{o.a.s.commons.testing.jcr}} is currently not compatible with Java 9 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7159)
> The according discussion around this can be found in https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@sling.apache.org/msg70983.html.
