In the following example, 

   1. <target name="tests.unit">  
   2.   <junit>  
      3.     <batchtest>  
      4.       <fileset dir="tsrc">  
      5.         <include name="**/Test*.java"/>  
      6.         <exclude name="**/tests/*.java"/>  
      7.       </fileset>  
      8.     </batchtest>  
      9.   </junit>  
     10. </target>  
     11. <target name="tests.integration">  
     12.   <junit>  
     13.     <batchtest>  
     14.       <fileset dir="tsrc">  
     15.         <include name="**/tests/Test*.java"/>  
     16.       </fileset>  
     17.     </batchtest>  
     18.   </junit>  
     19. </target>

If i have several TestSuites in in the **/tests/ folder. How will it know which test suite to run first if i run the tests.integration target? If i have TestSuite1.java, TestSuite2.java and TestSuite3.java i would like the test suites to run in the order as specified in teh filename.

    Yes i am trying to create a test suite for a functional test not unit tests. Im trying to use junit to build the functional tests package. I am using selenium which is based on Junit.

    Lets say i have a website where you cant do anything without logging on. In this case i have a test case that tests the logging on functionality and then i would have another test case that would test something else. The order they will be executed will matter because i cant test anything before logging on which means the order should be

    1. TestLogin
    2. TestCreateProduct
    3. TestReadProduct

    in the above test cases, i cant read any product before it is created and that i have logged and i cant create a product before i have logged on. I have seen a lot of comments about using the setUp() and tearDown() methods but surely that would mean a lot of duplication.

    If for example i have to make TestReadProduct test case independent, i would have to put the TestLogin and TestCreateproduct functionality in the setUp() method for the TestCreateProduct test case. Surely this is a maintenance nightmare. Imagine having to maintain 5000 of testcases. I would have to make a lot of changes in a lot of places if the TestLogin functionality changes.

    I am thinking of using the “depends” option in ANT.

    Something like this

    <target=TestReadProduct depends=TestLogin, TestCreateProduct>

    isnt there a better way of doing this?
