Re: Tool to create assertions from a running Java application

Hi,

These comments are not so much about your tool, but about tools for 
generating tests in general:

I think they are the wrong way around; It would be more beneficial to 
generate production code from tests.

That being said, they may have some limited use as characterization 
tests for legacy code. But I doubt any tool is smart enough to produce 
maintainable tests, so the tests would need to be rewritten after the 
system under test has been refactored enough that the programmer can 
understand what the code does. Changing the code's functionality is hard 
before it has good tests that each define a single behavior.
