Information on JUnit4
- successor to most widely used unit-testing framework for Java, JUnit3
- under active development (last JUnit3 release 3.8.2 2006-03-03)
- JUnit 4 released 2006-02-16
- 4.1 2006-04-27
- 4.2 2006-11-16
- 4.3 2006-11-16
- 4.3.1 2007-03-28
- 4.4 (current as of 071204) 2007-07-18
- JUnit 4 released 2006-02-16
- based on Java 5 features:
- no longer need to extend class TestCase
- test-method names do not have to start with the prefix test
- mark your test method with a @Test annotation
- use static import's to get assert methods (instead of via inheritance)
importjunit.framework.TestCase; import org.junit.Test; import static org.junit.Assert.*; public class CalculatorTestextendsTestCase { @Test public voidtestadd() { .... assertEquals(4, calculator.add( 1, 3 )); } }
- improved test lifecycle management:
- setUp() and tearDown() replaced with @Before and @After annotations (allows for multiple @Before/@After methods)
public class CalculatorTest { @Before public void prepareTestData() { ... } @Before public void setupMocks() { ... } @After public void cleanupTestData() { ... } }
- improved fixture management - old style:
import junit.framework.*; import junit.extensions.TestSetup; public class AllTestsOneTimeSetup { public static Connection conn; // database connection
public static Test suite() { TestSuite suite = new TestSuite(); suite.addTest(SomeTest.suite()); suite.addTest(AnotherTest.suite()); TestSetup wrapper = new TestSetup(suite) { protected void setUp() { setUpDatabaseConnection(); } protected void tearDown() { tearDownDatabaseConnection(); } }; return wrapper; } public static void setUpDatabaseConnection() { // one-time initialization code conn = ...; } public static void tearDownDatabaseConnection() { // one-time cleanup code conn.close() ... } }
