How Do You Test Classes That Must Be Run in a J2EE Container?
To test classes that must be run in a J2EE container (e.g. servlets, EJBs),
you should refactor J2EE components to delegate functionality to other objects
that don’t have to be run in a J2EE container will improve the design and
testability of the software.
Cactus is an open source JUnit extension that can be used to test J2EE
components in their natural environment.
How to creating a Test Suite using JUnit in Eclipse?
There are four ways to create a JUnit test suite class in Eclipse with JUnit
plugin: org.junit_3.8.1. First, select the directory (usually unittests/) that
you wish to create the test suite class in.
1. Select File > New > Other… > Java > JUnit > JUnit Test
Suite.
2. Select the arrow of the button in the upper left of the toolbar. Select
Other… > Java > JUnit > JUnit Test Suite,
3. Right click on a package in the Package Explorer view in the Java
Perspective, and select Other… > Java > JUnit > JUnit Test Suite,
or
4. You can create a normal Java class as shown in the Eclipse tutorial, but
include junit.framework.TestSuite as the super class of the test class you are
creating.
Can You Describe Steps of Creating Test Case Classes in Eclipse?
There are detailed steps to create a test case class in Eclipse with JUnit
plugin: org.junit_3.8.1.
1. Use the Browse button to search for a different super class. The default
super class is junit.framework.TestCase.
2. Check which method stubs you would like to create. You can create a main
method, setUp(), tearDown(), or a constructor(), but all of these are optional.
A constructor is only run when the test case class is first instantiated, but
the setUp() and tearDown() methods are run before and after, respectively, each
test case is run.
3. You can browse the application that you are creating for a class that you
wish to test, or this could be left blank if you will generate the class while
creating while creating the test.
- If you selected a “Class Under Test” you can click the Next button,
otherwise click Finish. You will be able to select which methods in the class
under test that you want to write test cases for. The method signatures will be
created for you. Click Finish. The new test case class will be open in the
editor.
- This test class demonstrates the basic functionality of the setUp() and
tearDown() methods, and gives example test cases. The testForException() method
demonstrates how to test that an exception is properly thrown.
Note: All source methods in the class under test must be public or protected,
not private, in order to be tested by JUnit. If the method in the class under
test is private, the test class must be in the same package.
How to Run a JUnit Test Case in Eclipse?
There are three ways to run JUnit Test Cases or Test Suites in Eclipse with
JUnit plugin: org.junit_3.8.1.
1. You can right click on the test case class or test suite class and select
Run As > JUnit Test.
2. You can select a test case or suite and click the arrow on the icon or
select Run from the toolbar, and select Run As > JUnit Test.
3. You can select a test case or suite and click the arrow on the icon or
select Run from the toolbar, and select Run… From here you will create a new
JUnit test configuration, and name it. You can choose to run a single test case,
or run all test cases in a project or folder.
How To Create Test Class in Eclipse?
There are five ways to create a JUnit test case class in Eclipse with JUnit
plugin: org.junit_3.8.1. First, select the directory (usually unittests/) that
you wish to create the test case class in.
1. Select File > New > JUnit Test Case.
2. Select the arrow of the button in the upper left of the toolbar. Select
JUnit Test Case.
3. Right click on a package in the Package Explorer view in the Java
Perspective, and select JUnitTestCase.
4. Click on the arrow of the icon in the toolbar. Select JUnit Test Case.
5. You can create a normal Java class as shown in the Eclipse tutorial, but
include junit.framework.TestCase as the super class of the test class you are
creating.
How Often Should You Run Your JUnit Tests?
Run all your unit tests as often as possible, ideally every time the code is changed.
Run all your acceptance, integration, stress, and unit tests at least once per day (or night).
Do You Have To Write a Test for Everything?
No, just test everything that could reasonably break.
What Happens If You Run JUnit Tests with Java Assertion Enabled?
As of JUnit 3.8, The JUnit runner will work well with Java assertion feature. If Java assertion is enabled and a Java “assert” statement fails, the JUnit runner will report this in same way as the calling test fails.
Should You Run JUnit Tests with Java Assertion Disabled?
If your test class is well designed and covering all cases where the target class could break, you should run your test with Java assertion disabled by using the JVM “-da” option.
How To Test Programs Thats Use Java “assert” Statements?
Since JUnit 3.8, the JUnit runner if fully compatible with the assertion feature. If a Java “assert” statement failed in a JUnit test, the JUnit runner will report that this test fails.
When you design your tests, you should ignore the fact the target class is using “assert” statements. Ignore those “assert” statement and write tests to cover all cases where the target class could break.
