JUnit Testing Guide

JUnit is a widely used testing framework for Java applications. It is designed to simplify the testing process and make it more efficient. This guide will help you get started with JUnit testing.

Why Use JUnit?

• Automate Testing: JUnit allows you to automate the testing process, which can save time and reduce errors.
• Easy to Use: JUnit is simple to use and has a user-friendly interface.
• Extensible: JUnit can be extended with various plugins to suit your testing needs.

Getting Started

1. Add JUnit Dependency: You need to add the JUnit dependency to your project. For Maven, add the following to your pom.xml:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>junit</groupId>
       <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
       <version>4.13.2</version>
       <scope>test</scope>
   </dependency>
   

2. Create a Test Class: Create a new Java class for your tests. For example, MyTest.java.

3. Write Test Cases: Write test cases using JUnit annotations. For example:

   import org.junit.Test;
   import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
   
   public class MyTest {
   
       @Test
       public void testAddition() {
           assertEquals(5, 2 + 3);
       }
   }
   

4. Run the Test: Run the test using your IDE or build tool.

Common JUnit Annotations

• @Test: Indicates that the method is a test case.
• @Before: Executes before each test case.
• @After: Executes after each test case.
• @BeforeClass: Executes before all test cases.
• @AfterClass: Executes after all test cases.

Example Test Case

import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class ExampleTest {

    @Test
    public void testMultiply() {
        assertEquals(8, 2 * 4);
    }
}
