The alternate view doesn't really help, and articles shouldn't really be split that way. What to do about it? SteveLoughran (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Reporting vs Execution

edit

In the Java test world, JUnit, TestNG and the like normally generate XML in the Apache Ant test runner format, a format that was developed independently of the test runner. Ant has its own XSL style sheets to generate HTML from this, but tools like Hudson (software) take the XML and process it direct. If you run JUnit under any of the main Java IDEs, it integrates directly with the IDE.

Therefore, the statement that reporting is part of the TAF is not quite right. Reporting status to whatever is running the tests, yes, essential, but the presentation of those results is something for the user tooling -which can be separate. SteveLoughran (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
