 Sustainability
 On the Tool’s end, it is a very popular tool and is very
sustainable with new release every few years.
 On the developers end maintain the JUnit code is
easy because it is written in java, and can be easily
ran right in eclipse. Tests are only as thorough as you
make it. The higher coverage you want, the harder it
becomes to maintain.
 Performance
 Great Performance. Again, Tests are as thorough as
you make it. The higher coverage you want, the
harder it becomes to maintain, but the better
performance you will have and the better your code
is tested.
 Pricing
 Free!!!

know. There is no extra software to download
comes with android sdk so it can be used by
everyone.
