Unit Testing of the code is mandatory in every project. Each line of code you write, should be tested with JUnit Test Cases. Many projects have been following Test Driven Development(TDD) model successfully for a very long time. JUnit 5 comes with many new features to make developer's job easy.
JUnit 5 is basically amalgamation of three key modules namely -
- JUnit Platform
- JUnit Jupiter
- JUnit Vintage
Following are the dependencies required for JUnit 5 -
<properties> <junit.jupiter.version>5.5.2</junit.jupiter.version> <junit.platform.version>1.5.2</junit.platform.version> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId> <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId> <version>${junit.jupiter.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId> <artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId> <version>${junit.platform.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> Let's now write a small Java class which we can utilise to learn basics of JUnit 5 -
public class Junit5Basics { public static int calculate(int number1, int number2, String operation) { if("add".equalsIgnoreCase(operation)) return number1 + number2; if("subtract".equalsIgnoreCase(operation)) return number1 - number2; return 0; } } Please find below the sample JUnit 5 test cases class for the above class which is pretty self explanatory. I have added meaningful statements so that you can easily understand. You can see new annotations being used which were not there in earlier JUnit versions -
import org.junit.jupiter.api.*; public class Junit5BasicsTest { @BeforeAll static void setUp() { System.out.println("This method is going to run before everything once"); } @BeforeEach void setupBeforeEachTest(){ System.out.println("This method is going to run before each test"); } @Test void testAddition() { System.out.println("Testing the Addition functionality"); Assertions.assertEquals( 8 , Junit5Basics.calculate(4, 4, "add")); } @Test void testSubtraction() { System.out.println("Testing the Subtraction functionality"); Assertions.assertEquals( 4 , Junit5Basics.calculate(8, 4, "subtract")); } @AfterEach void tearAfterEachTest(){ System.out.println("This method is going to run after each test"); } @AfterAll static void tear(){ System.out.println("This method is going to run after everything once"); } } Please find below the sample output to verify your understanding -
This method is going to run before everything once This method is going to run before each test Testing the Addition functionality This method is going to run after each test This method is going to run before each test Testing the Subtraction functionality This method is going to run after each test This method is going to run after everything once I think you have understood the basics of JUnit 5. In the future posts, I'll try to cover other advanced topics related to JUnit 5.
