    There is such a one, which does fit these requirements consistently and doesn't try to embrace everything badly. And guess what it's also compliant with Cucumber and doesn't try to reivent thee wheel.

  • Why does Rusts testing tools seem so much less polished compared to its other tooling?

    Testing tools on the JVM stopped using reflection about twenty years ago, they all use annotations these days (e.g. https://testng.org, https://junit.org). Rust has annotations too, obviously.
  • Reassessing TestNG vs. Junit
    6 projects | /r/java | 20 Sep 2021
    Recently though we've run across a few issues with the asserts in TestNG. In 7.3.0, some changes broke assertSame/assertNotSame that also broke some of our tests. This was partially fixed in 7.4.0, but some overloads of assertEquals were still broken. This is fixed, but I don't think the fix has been delivered in a release yet. Further investigation revealed that at least one overload of assertNotEquals has been broken, apparently since 6.9.5 or even earlier.
