Overview of this book

When building an application it is of utmost importance to have clean code, a productive environment and efficient systems in place. Having automated unit testing in place helps developers to achieve these goals. The JUnit testing framework is a popular choice among Java developers and has recently released a major version update with JUnit 5. This book shows you how to make use of the power of JUnit 5 to write better software. The book begins with an introduction to software quality and software testing. After that, you will see an in-depth analysis of all the features of Jupiter, the new programming and extension model provided by JUnit 5. You will learn how to integrate JUnit 5 with other frameworks such as Mockito, Spring, Selenium, Cucumber, and Docker. After the technical features of JUnit 5, the final part of this book will train you for the daily work of a software tester. You will learn best practices for writing meaningful tests. Finally, you will learn how software testing fits into the overall software development process, and sits alongside continuous integration, defect tracking, and test reporting.

Test design

In order to design properly a test, we need to define specifically what needs to be implemented. To that aim, it is important to remember what is the generic structure of a test, already explained in chapter 1, Retrospective On Software Quality And Java Testing. Therefore, for each test we need to define:

  • What is test fixture, that is, the required state in the SUT to carry out the test? This is done at the beginning of the test in the stage called setup. At the end of the test, the test fixture might be released in the stage called teardown.
  • What is the SUT, and if we are doing unit tests, which are its DOC(s)? Unit test should be in isolation and therefore we need to define test doubles (typically mocks or spies) for the DOC(s).
  • What are the assertions? This a key part of tests. Without assertions, we cannot claim that a test is actually made. In order to design...
