I think the tests can be improved to fail rather than entering an endless loop this way: Original: do { TestingUtil.sleepRandom(1000); entry = store.load(key); } while (!entry.getValue().equals(value + (number-1))); New version, allows a timeout of aprox 60 seconds: boolean success = false; for (int i = 0; i < 120; i++) { TestingUtil.sleepRandom(1000); entry = store.load(key); success = entry.getValue().equals(value + (number-1)); if (success) break; } assert success; I know TestNG supports timeouts at test method level, never used it though...
