Re: links between Junit tests and source code!!

150 tests means 150 runs and reports.  It does not sound that big to me.

If you need it once in order to document the relationships and then only
need to do it for each new test created going forward, then this is less
work than fully automating it (including testing and fully debugging that
automation).  If you can script running one test in isolation and one
report, then you just need to either parameterize that script or make 150
copies of it (yuck).  It is yucky, but not too much work for a one-time
requirement.

If your system is so highly volatile that you believe the same test will be
testing other classes in the future than it is testing today, then
automation would really be necessary.

All these options are better than brain explosion.

However, the best option is to challenge the need for this kind of
information in the first place.  Knowing which methods are not tested by any
of the tests is all a project should really care about.  If a method is
tested by at least one test, why does it matter which test it is?
