[infinispan-dev] A tip: Using a random word generator to generate uncommon test data

[Mircea Markus]

Another thing that helps is using the thread name. It's true that  
there are some threads created within jgroups, and these won't match  
but generally it helps.
Before starting a test, a log message is being output - this contains  
the name of the test that is to be executed. Same after the test is  
finished. Logs look like:
"Starting test..."
and
"Test Xyz failed"/"Test Xyz skipped"/"Test Xyz succeeded"
