java - Can we use JUNIT for Automated Integration Testing?

Question

How do you automate integration testing? I use JUnit for some of these tests. This is one of the solutions or is totally wrong? What do you suggest?

Answer 1

JUnit works. There are no limitations that restrict it to being unit tests only. We use JUnit, Maven and CruiseControl to do CI.

There may be tools that are specific for integration testing, but I would think their usefulness is dependent on what type of system components you are integrating. JUnit will work fine for non UI type testing.
