unitTest vs JUnitGenerator vs Testdox IDEA Plugin?

Hi Ahmed,

How can you say that these "plug-ins overlap to a great degree" if you are unsure of their respective features?

As co-author of the TestDox IDEA plug-in, I would like to know how you work with JUnit and what exactly you mean by "smooth JUnit work".

For now, rather than providing you with a comparison of the above plug-in's, I can point you to the documentation of one of them: http://docs.beanlab.org/display/TESTDOXIDEA/Home

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Franck

Franck,

that was not very helpful :(.

Because from simple trials and reading all the available documentation I got this impression.
I wanted a comparison from other users that used them more time than me, so maybe they found the
features/tips/conflicts/etc. that are not evident, since none of the plug-ins extends the IntelliJ
Help System.

As co-author of the TestDox IDEA plug-in,
I would like to know what exactly you mean by "smooth JUnit work".

Smooth is the IntelliJ way, something that may plug-ins simply forget, and even if made for IntelliJ,
they feel like made for Eclipse :). Smooth is the entire theory the IDE/plugi-in of not
getting in my way, plus the intelligence required to "test with pleasure" the same as one already
"develops with pleasure"

For now, rather than providing you with a comparison of the above plug-in's,

And exactly this is what I'm interested in.
For Struts there's such a comparison page made by the different plug-in authors, and IMHO it helps
allot.

Thank you, but that was the first thing I studied (even before trying the plug-in) :) .

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed.

Ahmed,

That is exactly how I felt about the various struts plugins when I was trying to evaluate them. Yann was kind enough to take on the task of creating the page when I asked.

Since Franck didn't volunteer to create the comparison page, create one yourself. Even if you don't have all the answers, you at least have some of the questions. Create a table with the features/categories that you are interested in and then post the URL of the page to this forum asking for people to update it.

I bet that either the authors or users of the various junit related plugins would be willing to fill in what they know.
