It involves a lot of maintenance work down the line.
Just a question: do you think reload4j should be buildable in Turkish or Russian locale out of the box? Is it tested right now?
Yes, of course. It should build everywhere. No, not tested currently.
Do you want to catch bugs like "wrong results if Object#hashCode yields collisions"?
That is not kind of problem I am talking talking about. I am talking about a problem which occurs only on saturday April the 24th, 2021 between 23:30 and 23:45 in a country with a 30 minute time zone and DST. These are horribly difficult to reproduce and when solved affect only the test code and not the code under test.
Of course, it is more work, if you want to capture those bugs and kill them.
By a lot of work, I mean the work of hunting down the problems when they are detected by the randomized tests.
Al I am saying is that such infrastructure may look nice and cuddly but the step may not be so innocuous.
Not really. I introduced a randomized test matrix to the TestNG project a year ago, and it does look reasonable and easy to understand.
Here's the recent build: https://github.com/cbeust/testng/actions/runs/1696812649 <https://github.com/cbeust/testng/actions/runs/1696812649>
OK. Time will tell.
