I quite like that most of the tests Tomcat does have take the form of Servlets, JSPs or similar. As well as testing the specific bug or feature, I like the assurance it gives that things are working end-to-end. > I have some experience with: > > JMock - http://www.jmock.org/ > EasyMock - http://easymock.org/ > Mockito (my favourite) - http://mockito.org/ > > First one hasn¹t updated since Feb 2009, so I think it¹s not a good idea to > look there.

That is about the only instance I can recall. I guess I am neutral on the idea overall. I'm not against it if there is sufficient need, but so far I haven't found a need for it. Maybe there is a need and I just can't see it. Shrug.
