JUnit test question

[Stefan Ram]

Just for curiosity:

The following question just came to my mind:

Is JUnit tested with unit tests itself?

Yes. They do eat their own dog food.

Yes. They do eat their own dog food.

A nutrition researcher for the U.S. government of my acquaintance, who is an
M.D., once told me that Alpo (a brand of dog food) contains all the nutrients
necessary to sustain human life. He claimed there were three such foods:
Alpo, grass (which must be juiced because cellulose is indigestible), and
honeybee pollen.

I had to look.

$ cvs -z3 -dserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/junit co -P junit
$ find junit -name \*.java | xargs -J % grep @test % | wc -l

Jeez, I hope the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office doesn't hear about the
grass bit. What's honeybee pollen?

Grass, not "grass" -

What's honeybee pollen?

It's the pollen that honeybees gather from flowers, carry back to their hive,
and treat with various enzymes to be the staple food of the colony.

Ain't Wikipedia grand? In under five minutes you can answer all sorts of
questions!

GIYF, too!

Yep, the same.

Yep, it did take 6 minutes for me to get your reply, but then again I've
had coffee and a cigarette on the back porch and didn't have to stretch
a finger. Thanks

Famously, the combination of Guinness and milk also has this property. I
say "famously", because this is well-known, at least in certain circles.
it may be completely false.

Surely, almost by definition, human flesh also fits the bill?

Also it's inexpensive, tasty and the supply is inexhaustible.

Is the human digestive system capable of extracting all the essential
things the human body is capable of synthesising into flesh and bone?

Not unless you're going to chomp up the bones for starters. Even then
you'll be short of vitamins, many of which are synthesised by plants, so
add some rabbit food to yer hooman stew as well.
