Information on JUnit4

• successor to most widely used unit-testing framework for Java, JUnit3

  • JUnit 4 released 2006-02-16
    • 4.1 2006-04-27
    • 4.2 2006-11-16
    • 4.3 2006-11-16
      • 4.3.1 2007-03-28
    • 4.4 (current as of 071204) 2007-07-18
• based on Java 5 features:
  • no longer need to extend class TestCase
  • test-method names do not have to start with the prefix test
  • mark your test method with a @Test annotation
  • use static import's to get assert methods (instead of via inheritance)

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;;

public class CalculatorTest extends TestCase {

    @Test
    public void testadd() { 
        ....
        assertEquals(4, calculator.add( 1, 3 ));
    } 
}

• improved lifecycle management
