RocketUnit is made up of one component, an assert, a setup and a teardown method, that's it. I later added the halt, raise, _setup and _teardown myself to the core component to help with some of the tests i needed to write for wheels. it's worth mentioning that with the 0.9.4 additions of the global and loc scopes in tests the _setup, _teardown, setup, teardown methods are pretty much obsolete. one of the biggest challenges with unit testing and probably the thing that has kept us from pushing it is that it was too confusing to write tests. i think the style that we have now is pretty easy to follow. i would really appreciate anyone who can take a look at the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/cfwheels/wiki/TestingFramework" rel="nofollow">testing framework portion</a> of the wheels documentation and give me some criticism. tell me what i'm missing, what doesn't make sense, give me your worst.  As we move into 1.0 territory, this documentation will not only help the general wheels developer but also the core team in writing tests against the core portions of the framework. @mike, i actually looked at MXUnit, CFCUnit, RocketUnit or rolling our own when i initially looked at adding unit testing into wheels. in the end RocketUnit was dead simple and was extremely easy to customize (thanks robin!) to fit snuggly into the wheels framework. i wanted something that people could literally (like they do now) click a link and have their entire test suite run. i also didn’t want them to have to learn an entire other framework in order to write tests.

I wonder if there is a generator available for RocketUnit or if one could be written based on RocketUnit’s.
