Trapo blog: Maven + Hibernate + Spring + HSQLDB = your tests running fast and out-of-the-box
"I want to keep trapo environment as simple as possible. I want that people just fire a command and all tests can run immediately: not setups, no database creating, no sql to run.

I see short cycles where the code is usually always stable and features are delivered incrementally. I get to watch the performance of the system evolve over time. Unfortunately, this means I'm testing software all the time. Thats fine though - none of this is by hand - this kind of repetitive task is perfect for automation."
