Evaluate code mocking frameworks

Description

To ease test writing, collaborating elements of a SUT can be mocks. Some frameworks exist allowing for easy mocking. OMERO mainly uses jMock. If we decide to stay with it, it has to be updated and any failing tests fixed.

  • Compare jMock and Mockito,
  • Find any other alternatives.

This (somewhat biased) comparison of mocking frameworks might suggest that jMockit is a strong contender: http://code.google.com/p/jmockit/wiki/MockingToolkitComparisonMatrix. jMock has taken two years to go from RC to a stable release and the release frequency there is quite low. On the other hand, jMockit overcomes some of the limitations of Mockito and is currently actively developed.

Nice comparison, Blazej. From my point of view, there's nothing holding us to jmock other than the effort of migrating, and will certainly trust your judgement on which one we should try out. This isn't likely to happen though before closing the testing milestone. Should be move to milestone:Testing2

Moving to Testing2 sounds like a good plan.

  • Resolution set to wontfix

Closing for now unless we have a clear immediate driver for the migration.
