How do I set up a test project for a Eclipse plugin project
I'm working on a eclipse plug-in and I've tried to create another test project seperate from the plug-in. The reason I do this is to not let the plug-in depend on jUnit when it is exported. However, I can't access the Eclipse Plug-in API when I do the testing. Whenever I try to add Plug-in dependencies the import list to that is empty. ...
Using the main method of classes for debugging?
It is good practice to use the main method to test a java/.net class? I've seen it reccommended in some text books, but to me it seems like using a unit testing framework would make more sense... The main method gives you one point of entry to the class and you can test one aspect of the classes functionality. You could I guess test ma...

Are regression tests the entire test suite or a sample of tests?
I was taught that a regression test was a small (only enough to prove you didn't break anything with the introduction of a change or new modules) sample of the overall tests. However, this article by Ron Morrison and Grady Booch makes me think differently: The desired strategy would be to bring each unit in one at a time, perform an ...

Testing Functions for ASP.net (The Object Test Bench)
Edit I noticed that the Object Test Bench is a good example of what I'm looking for, but it doesn't seem to work with ASP.net. I always get an error that an instance could not be created.

Should Software Testing really become a first-class concept at the academic level?
Is Software Testing really given its importance at the academic level? I believe there is a need in universities offering Software Engineering (and probably even Computer Science) to treat Software Testing as a separate course and topic in itself, rather than as part of a general topic of Software Engineering. Irrespective of the testin...
