Junit - A Standard Unit Testing Tool For Java Programs: Testresult

The document summarizes JUnit, a standard unit testing framework for Java. It describes the key aspects of JUnit including its open source availability, core classes like TestResult and TestSuite, use of design patterns like Command and Template Method, how to write test cases by extending TestCase and using setUp(), tearDown(), and assert methods. It also compares differences between JUnit 3.x and 4.x versions, with 4.x using annotations like @Before, @After, @Test instead of overriding methods. Code examples are provided to illustrate how test cases are designed and executed with both versions.

JUnit a standard unit testing tool for Java programs Open source and documentation available at http://www.junit.

t.org [1,2] describe the Junit 3.x framework by using the following class diagram:
TestResult
<<Interface>>

Assert

Test *

TestCase setUp() runTest() tearDown()

TestSuite

The design of JUnit is based on the following patterns: o Command (test cases are encapsulated and manipulated as objects) o Composite (a TestSuite is a composite of TestCases) o Template Method (tests are based on a template sequence of operations: each test method is run between a call to setUp() and a call to tearDown()) To create a test-case class you have to define a subclass of TestCase. o Each test-case class may contain several test methods. o Each test method is run in a fresh instance of the test-case class. o The test-case class may override setUp() and tearDown(). setUp() and tearDown() provide control over each test fixture (the set of objects that are involved in a test). o Assert provides (static) methods for checking the test values. You can write and execute collections of tests assembled in test suites. The new versions JUnit 4.x use annotations (require JDK 5 to run): @Before, @After, @Test (for set up, tear down and test methods, respectively). References [1] Kent Beck. JUnit pocket guide.
