The new EAP (Aurora) has a great looking and feedback rich graphical runner.
This runner has the following features
- Run the current test method, all test methods of the current class, all tests contained within the current package
- Monitor and report memory usage and timing
- GUI runner can filter tests to only show failures
- Ability to create temporary or permanent test run configuration
- Diff tool for long string output differences
- Ability to roll back to the any green bar state using the LocalVCS (label added on every test run with its status)
A third party http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/JUnitTestPlugin adds the following features (as of Aug 10, 2003 some features are only available in the Aurora version)
- Configure a project wide organization for test classes
- Toggle navigation between class/method under test and its associated test methods
- Automatic creation of Test class shell based on a velocity template
- Automatic refactoring of test class/method to reflect move/rename of class/method under tests
- more to come ;-)
