JUNIT

• JUnit is an open-source framework that is used for writing and executing unit tests in
Java programming language.
• It is one of the best-known unit testing frameworks.
• Erich Gamma and Kent Beck initially develop it.

JUNIT

• Different well-known automation unit testing tools are

NEED OF JUNIT TESTING

•It finds bugs early in the code, which makes our code
more reliable.

•JUnit is useful for developers, who work in a test-driven

environment.

•Unit testing forces a developer to read code more than

writing.

•You develop more readable, reliable and bug-free code

which builds confidence during development.

FEATURES OF JUNIT

• JUnit is an open source framework, which is used for writing and running tests.
• Provides annotations to identify test methods.
• Provides assertions for testing expected results.
• Provides test runners for running tests.
• JUnit tests allow you to write codes faster, which increases quality.

FEATURES OF JUNIT

• JUnit is elegantly simple. It is less complex and takes less time.

• JUnit tests can be run automatically and they check their own results and provide
immediate feedback. There's no need to manually comb through a report of test
results.
• JUnit tests can be organized into test suites containing test cases and even other test
suites.
• JUnit shows test progress in a bar that is green if the test is running smoothly, and it
turns red when a test fails.

WHAT IS A UNIT TEST CASE?

• A Unit Test Case is a part of code, which ensures that another part of code (method)
works as expected.
• To achieve the desired results quickly, a test framework is required.
• JUnit is a perfect unit test framework for Java programming language.
• A formal written unit test case is characterized by a known input and an expected
output, which is worked out before the test is executed.
 07-02-2023

WHAT IS A UNIT TEST CASE?

• The known input should test a precondition and the expected output should test a
post-condition.
• There must be at least two unit test cases for each requirement −
• one positive test and
• one negative test.

• If a requirement has sub-requirements, each sub-requirement must have at least two

test cases as positive and negative.

ANNOTATIONS FOR JUNIT TESTING

• The Junit 4.x framework is annotation based, so let's see the annotations that can be
used while writing the test cases.

@Test • annotation specifies that method is the test method.

• annotation specifies that method will be failed if it takes longer
@Test(timeout=1000)
than 1000 milliseconds (1 second).
• annotation specifies that method will be invoked only once,
@BeforeClass
before starting all the tests.
• annotation specifies that method will be invoked before each
@Before
test.
@After • annotation specifies that method will be invoked after each test.
• annotation specifies that method will be invoked only once, after
@AfterClass
finishing all the tests.

ASSERT CLASS

• The org.junit.Assert class provides methods to assert the program logic.

METHODS IN ASSERT CLASS

void assertEquals(boolean • checks that two primitives/objects are equal.

expected,boolean actual) • It is overloaded.

void assertTrue(boolean • checks that a condition is true.

condition)

void assertFalse(boolean • checks that a condition is false.

condition)

void assertNull(Object • checks that object is null.

obj)

void assertNotNull(Object • checks that object is not null.

obj)

CREATING A JUNIT TEST CASE IN

NETBEANS

• Install Java Development Kit

1
(JDK)
2 • Install NetBeans IDE
3 • Download JUNIT

PATH SETTING

• Set PATH variable for Java:

• C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.2.1\bin
• location of JDK

• Set JUNIT_HOME
• C:\JUNIT
• Location of Junit.jar
 07-02-2023

PATH SETTING

• Right Click “This PC”.

• Goto “Properties”.

PATH SETTING

• Goto Advanced Systems Settings.

PATH SETTING

• Click on Environment Variables.

PATH SETTING

• Click on “Path” from System Variables.

 07-02-2023

PATH SETTING

• Click on Edit->New
• Paste the location bin folder
of JDK.
• Click Ok->Ok->Ok.

RUNNING A JAVA PROGRAM

• Open NetBeans IDE.

• Click File->New Project-> Java with Ant->Java Application

EXAMPLE JAVA CLASS

• /**
• * Simple Java Calculator with add and multiply method
• */
• public class Calculator {
• public int add(int... number) {
• int total = 0;
• for (int i : number) {
• total += i;
• }

EXAMPLE JAVA CLASS

• return total;
• }
• public int multiply(int... number) {
• int product = 1;
• for (int i : number) {
• product *= i;
• }
• return product;
• }

EXAMPLE JAVA JUNIT TEST CLASS

• import static org.junit.Assert.*;

• import org.junit.Test;
• /**
• * JUnit Test class for testing methods of Calculator class.
• */
• public class CalculatorTest {
• @Test
• public void testAdd() {
• Calculator calc = new Calculator();

EXAMPLE JAVA JUNIT TEST CLASS

• assertEquals(60, calc.add(10,20,30));
• }
• @Test
• public void testMultiply() {
• Calculator calc = new Calculator();
• assertEquals(6000, calc.multiply(10,20,30));
• }
• }

CREATING JUNIT TEST CASE

• Open NetBeans
• Go to File->New Project->Java With Ant->Java Application
• Give the name of the project (Say Square)
• Deselect “Create Main Class”
• Click on “Square” and expand it.
• Right click “default package”->new->Java Class.
• Give Class Name (Say Square)
• Click Finish

CREATING JUNIT TEST CASE

• Click Tools->Create/Update Tests

• Click Ok.
• The file SquareTest.java is created.

CREATING JUNIT TEST CASE

• Right click SquareTes.java->Test File.

• If test case passed, it will show Test Case Passed.
• In case test case does not pass, it will show Test Case Failed.

SQUARE.JAVA

• int Square(int a){
• return a*a;
• }
• }
