[Opensim-dev] Unit tests should not be coupled (WAS: Re: [Opensim-commits] r8737 - trunk/OpenSim/Framework/Communications/Tests)

Having chained integrations tests in this setting will lead to real, practical, grief and can stall the testing for a long time, until the group identifies the failing link. This is most oftenly the point in time where the team re-writes the stateful tests into state-less.

Yeah, I know, exactly what I thought. ;-)

 

On the other hand, I don't really care how we slice the cake - I can specify not to run the integration tests when I refactor, and I'd rather have the current setup than no setup.

 

It's all good.
