What is Unit Testing?
A procedure to validate
individual units of Source Code
Example: A procedure,
method or class
Validating each individual
piece reduces errors when
integrating the pieces together
later
Automated Unit Tests with
JUnit
Junit is a unit testing framework
for Java
Allows you to write unit tests in
Java using a simple interface
Automated testing enables
running and rerunning tests
very easily and quickly
An example unit test
public void testCellChangePropagates() {
Spreadsheet sheet =
new Spreadsheet();
sheet.put("A1", "5");
sheet.put("A2", "=A1");
sheet.put("A1", "10");
assertEquals("10",sheet.get("A2"));
}
Junit with Netbeans
1.
2.
3.
4.
New File
Choose file type: Junit
Choose Test for Existing Class
Junit test with all stubs
created for that class
5. Fill in the individual tests
6. Run Tests (Netbeans options)
Coverage Analysis
Determining which lines of
code your tests have exercised
and which they have not
Allows you to detect if your unit
tests (or system tests) are
adequately covering all
possibilities or not
This is just one way to test
Coverage Analysis with
Netbeans
Install Unit Test Code Coverage
Viewer module
Write a Unit Test
Run test and view highlighted
code
A simple test to dynamically
cover your code:
public void testMain() {
SuDoku sFrame = new SuDoku();
while (sFrame.isDisplayable()) {
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Assert.assertEquals(true,true);
}
How to write test cases
See sample system test case
See sample unit test case
Class Exercise - Lets try it out!
Using the
SystemRequirementsSpecificationExample.doc
Each team pick a use case
Document the overall system or
unit tests you would write to test
Do the same for a nonfunctional requirement (sec 5)
Summary
Unit tests can help test the
details of your program
Automated unit tests provide
constant visibility and easy
retesting
Test coverage supplies
valuable information when
running both unit tests and
system tests
