Objects are made up of fields and methods and in Java these things are typed. Sure, tests that don't deal with this will work just fine 99% of the time, but it's the 1% that worries me. In my book that's where bugs are born.
Yes, I can write methods within my tests that confirm the types for the fields for each class with Perl, but why would I go through all of these contortions when the language I've written the application in does this for me automatically? Why add to your uncertainty when the whole purpose of testing it to reduce it?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
