10. @BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() throws Exception {
// Code executed before the first test method
}
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
// Code executed before each test
}
It’s possible to define some test context
(called “Test Fixture”), before (“setUp”)...
11. @AfterClass
public static void tearDownClass() throws Exception {
// Code executed after the last test method
}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
// Code executed after each test
}
...and after (“tearDown”)...
12. @Test
public void testOneThing() {
// Code that tests one thing
}
@Test
public void testAnotherThing() {
// Code that tests another thing
}
Now you’re ready to write tests themselves
14. JUnit provides assertion methods for all
primitive types and Objects and arrays
The parameter order is “expected value”
followed by “actual value”
Optionally the first parameter can be a String
message that is output on failure
15. import static org.junit.Assert.*;
assertEquals("failure - strings not equal", "text", "text");
assertFalse("failure - should be false", false);
assertSame("should be same", aNumber, aNumber);
assertArrayEquals("failure - byte arrays not same", expected,
actual);
16. There is a slightly different
assertion, “assertThat” that
takes a Matcher object
18. Note that expected and actual
are reversed compared to the
other assert methods...
19. assertThat can also be used with
Hamcrest Matchers
Hamcrest Provides a library of matcher objects (also
known as constraints or predicates) allowing 'match'
rules to be defined declaratively, to be used in other
frameworks
Hamcrest it is not a testing library: it just happens that
matchers are very useful for testing
22. Using Suite as a runner
allows you to manually build
a suite containing tests from
many classes
23. To use it, annotate a class with
@RunWith(Suite.class) and
@SuiteClasses(TestClass1.class, ...)
When you run this class, it will run all
the tests in all the suite classes
26. Use JUnitCore to run tests and see
the results on the console
> java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore TestClass1 [...other
test classes...]
Both your test class and junit must be on the classpath
27. If using Maven, just execute
> mvn test
...and the Surefire plugin of Maven
will execute all JUnit tests under
src/test/java
28. The tests execution report
is then available in
target/surefire-reports
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<testsuite failures="0" time="0.015" errors="0" skipped="0" tests="1"
name="com.mycompany.app.AppTest">
<properties>
...
</properties>
<testcase time="0.002" classname="com.mycompany.app.AppTest" name="
testApp"/>
</testsuite>
29. If for some reason, you don't
want a test to fail, you just want
it ignored, you temporarily
disable a test
@Ignore("Test is ignored as a demonstration")
@Test
public void testSane() {
assertThat(1, is(1));
}
30. Tests that 'runaway' or
take too long, can be
automatically failed
There are two options for
implementing timeout
31. Timeout parameter on @Test
Annotation (applies to test method)
@Test(timeout=1000)
public void testWithTimeout() {
...
}
#1
32. Timeout Rule (applies to entire test
class)
public class HasGlobalTimeout {
@Rule
public Timeout globalTimeout = new Timeout(10000);
// 10 seconds max per method tested
@Test
public void testInfiniteLoop{
…
}
}
#2
34. Mockito is a Java framework
allowing the creation of
test double objects
(mock objects) in automated
unit tests
35. Test Double is a generic term for any
case where you replace a production
object for testing
purposes
36. Why mocking?
Some “real” objects required in Unit tests are
really complex to instanciate and/or configure
Sometimes, only interfaces exist,
implementations are not even coded
38. Now we can verify interactions
through mock objects
//Let's import Mockito statically so that the code looks clearer
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
//mock creation
List mockedList = mock(List.class);
//using mock object
mockedList.add("one");
mockedList.clear();
//verification
verify(mockedList).add("one");
verify(mockedList).clear();
39. Once created, mock will
remember all interactions
Then you can selectively verify
whatever interaction you are
interested in
40. By default, for all methods
that return value, mock returns null,
an empty collection or appropriate
primitive/primitive wrapper value
(e.g: 0, false, ...)
But wait!
41. This is where stubbing comes
//You can mock concrete classes, not only interfaces
LinkedList mockedList = mock(LinkedList.class);
//stubbing
when(mockedList.get(0)).thenReturn("first");
when(mockedList.get(1)).thenThrow(new RuntimeException());
//following prints "first"
System.out.println(mockedList.get(0));
//following throws runtime exception
System.out.println(mockedList.get(1));
//following prints "null" because get(999) was not stubbed
System.out.println(mockedList.get(999));
42. Mockito verifies argument values in natural
java style: by using an equals() method
Sometimes, when extra flexibility is
required then you might use
argument matchers
43. //stubbing using built-in anyInt() argument matcher
when(mockedList.get(anyInt())).thenReturn("element");
//stubbing using hamcrest (let's say isValid()
//returns your own hamcrest matcher):
when(mockedList.contains(argThat(isValid()))).thenReturn("element");
//you can also verify using an argument matcher
verify(mockedList).get(anyInt());
Here are some argument matchers
44. verify(mock).someMethod(anyInt(), anyString(), eq("third argument"));
//above is correct - eq() is also an argument matcher
verify(mock).someMethod(anyInt(), anyString(), "third argument");
//above is incorrect - exception will be thrown because third argument is
//given without an argument matcher
Note that if you are using argument matchers,
all arguments have to be provided by matchers
45. Verifying exact number of invocations
/ at least x / never
//exact number of invocations verification
verify(mockedList, times(2)).add("twice");
verify(mockedList, times(3)).add("three times");
//verification using never(). never() is an alias to times(0)
verify(mockedList, never()).add("never happened");
//verification using atLeast()/atMost()
verify(mockedList, atLeastOnce()).add("three times");
verify(mockedList, atLeast(2)).add("five times");
verify(mockedList, atMost(5)).add("three times");
46. Verification in order
Single mock whose methods must be invoked in
a particular order
List singleMock = mock(List.class);
//using a single mock
singleMock.add("was added first");
singleMock.add("was added second");
//create an inOrder verifier for a single mock
InOrder inOrder = inOrder(singleMock);
//following will make sure that add is first called with "was added first,
//then with "was added second"
inOrder.verify(singleMock).add("was added first");
inOrder.verify(singleMock).add("was added second");
47. Verification in order
Multiple mocks that must be used in a particular order
List firstMock = mock(List.class);
List secondMock = mock(List.class);
//using mocks
firstMock.add("was called first");
secondMock.add("was called second");
//create inOrder object passing any mocks that need to be verified in order
InOrder inOrder = inOrder(firstMock, secondMock);
//following will make sure that firstMock was called before secondMock
inOrder.verify(firstMock).add("was called first");
inOrder.verify(secondMock).add("was called second");
48. Sometimes we need to stub with
different return value/exception
for the same method call, we need
to stub consecutive calls (iterator-
style stubbing)
49. when(mock.someMethod("some arg"))
.thenThrow(new RuntimeException())
.thenReturn("foo");
//First call: throws runtime exception:
mock.someMethod("some arg");
//Second call: prints "foo"
System.out.println(mock.someMethod("some arg"));
//Any consecutive call: prints "foo" as well (last stubbing wins).
System.out.println(mock.someMethod("some arg"));
Alternative, shorter version of consecutive stubbing
when(mock.someMethod("some arg"))
.thenReturn("one", "two", "three");
50. It’s also possible to create
spies of real objects
When you use the spy then
the real methods are called
(unless a method was
stubbed)
51. List list = new LinkedList();
List spy = spy(list);
//optionally, you can stub out some methods:
when(spy.size()).thenReturn(100);
//using the spy calls *real* methods
spy.add("one");
spy.add("two");
//prints "one" - the first element of a list
System.out.println(spy.get(0));
//size() method was stubbed - 100 is printed
System.out.println(spy.size());
//optionally, you can verify
verify(spy).add("one");
verify(spy).add("two");
52. So if you keep the real instance and interact with it, don't
expect the spied to be aware of those interaction and their
effect on real instance state
The corollary is that when an unstubbed method is called on
the spy but not on the real instance, you won't see any
effects on the real instance
To know when spying real objects!
Mockito does not delegate calls to the passed real
instance, instead it actually creates a copy of it
53. Capturing arguments for further assertions
with ArgumentCaptor
//create the ArgumentCaptor for class Person
ArgumentCaptor<Person> argument = ArgumentCaptor.forClass(Person.class);
//verify that the doSomething method of the mock object was called
//with a Person argument
verify(mock).doSomething(argument.capture());
//assert that the name of that Person argument was “John”
Person person = argument.getValue();
assertEquals("John", person.getName());
