I just noticed the FITpro plugin for Eclipse has reached its 1.0 release (here). While I am not an Eclipse user, it is still good to see testing tools and utilities get some press– particularly something which has proved to be so useful to myself and others such as FIT.
On the topic of testing (and FIT in particular), while there are a lot of things I like about FitNesse, it has never fully hit the mark for me completely. It’s still great, but it would be interesting to consider an alternative written entirely in Groovy, for Groovy. Why Groovy, you may ask? Those who know me have probably heard me mention this from time to time, but I think it would be useful to author FIT fixtures directly alongside the kind of markup which FitNesse provides– and I think a more dynamic language such as Groovy would fit the bill quite well, while allowing support for existing fixtures.
