TestCase
abstract class TestCase : Assert, Test
| kotlin.Any | ||
| ↳ | junit.framework.Assert | |
| ↳ | junit.framework.TestCase | |
A test case defines the fixture to run multiple tests. To define a test case
- implement a subclass of
TestCase - define instance variables that store the state of the fixture
- initialize the fixture state by overriding
setUp() - clean-up after a test by overriding
tearDown().
public class MathTest extends TestCase {
protected double fValue1;
protected double fValue2;
protected void setUp() {
fValue1= 2.0;
fValue2= 3.0;
}
}
For each test implement a method which interacts with the fixture. Verify the expected results with assertions specified by calling junit.framework.Assert#assertTrue(String, boolean) with a boolean.
public void testAdd() {
double result= fValue1 + fValue2;
assertTrue(result == 5.0);
}
Once the methods are defined you can run them. The framework supports both a static type safe and more dynamic way to run a test. In the static way you override the runTest method and define the method to be invoked. A convenient way to do so is with an anonymous inner class.
TestCase test= new MathTest("add") {
public void runTest() {
testAdd();
}
};
test.run();
The dynamic way uses reflection to implement runTest(). It dynamically finds and invokes a method. In this case the name of the test case has to correspond to the test method to be run.
TestCase test= new MathTest("testAdd");
test.run();
The tests to be run can be collected into a TestSuite. JUnit provides different test runners which can run a test suite and collect the results. A test runner either expects a static method suite as the entry point to get a test to run or it will extract the suite automatically.
public static Test suite() {
suite.addTest(new MathTest("testAdd"));
suite.addTest(new MathTest("testDivideByZero"));
return suite;
}

Public constructors
<init>
TestCase()
No-arg constructor to enable serialization. This method is not intended to be used by mere mortals without calling setName().
Public methods
countTestCases
open fun countTestCases(): Int
Counts the number of test cases executed by run(TestResult result).
getName
open fun getName(): String!
Gets the name of a TestCase
| Return | |
|---|---|
String! |
the name of the TestCase |
run
open fun run(): TestResult!
A convenience method to run this test, collecting the results with a default TestResult object.

run
open fun run(result: TestResult!): Unit
Runs the test case and collects the results in TestResult.
runBare
open fun runBare(): Unit
Runs the bare test sequence.
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.lang.Throwable |
if any exception is thrown |
setName
open fun setName(name: String!): Unit
Sets the name of a TestCase
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
name |
String!: the name to set |
toString
open fun toString(): String
Returns a string representation of the test case
| Return | |
|---|---|
String |
a string representation of the object. |
Protected methods
createResult
protected open fun createResult(): TestResult!
Creates a default TestResult object

runTest
protected open fun runTest(): Unit
Override to run the test and assert its state.

setUp
protected open fun setUp(): Unit
Sets up the fixture, for example, open a network connection. This method is called before a test is executed.
tearDown
protected open fun tearDown(): Unit
Tears down the fixture, for example, close a network connection. This method is called after a test is executed.
