| Description |
|
The test abstraction over JUnit and TestNG is not quite correct wrt TestDescriptors. An event received from the TestNG execution contain TestDescriptor that has a parent of the entire suite. I'd expect the parent to be the descriptor for the test class. This is the case for JUnit tests. I don't think this is a huge problem. However, it's worth keeping this in mind when we improve TestNG. Perhaps it's something easily done as a side job. If we do it it is a breaking change in a way. However, it's a change for better I think. |

The parent of a test refers to the context of where the test is executing. The parent of a testng test (method) is the test suite. The parent of a junit test (method) is usually, but not always, the class that the method belongs to. If you want to find out the class of a test, use TestDescriptor.getClassName(). |

Ok, makes sense. |
