Re^2: Test Harnesses Meditation of Dissatisfaction

There's no reason that an efficient Java test harness couldn't be written. It sounds like the one one you have is just bloated and over-designed.

Oh, you bet! In another dept in this same company, there is a test harness (coded in-house, of course) that is Java and isn't nearly so bad. In fact, it works rather well, so I'm told. However, this dept couldn't switch now without major upheavals, due to all the additional tools built to support and leverage it. Ug! Luckily, this dept. now has a good Java programmer on staff, so it is slowly getting better. The original coder wrote the test harness because he "wanted to learn Java." Oh, boy!	[reply]
