Annotation Type Test
-
@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) public @interface TestThe
Testannotation tells JUnit that thepublic voidmethod to which it is attached can be run as a test case. To run the method, JUnit first constructs a fresh instance of the class then invokes the annotated method. Any exceptions thrown by the test will be reported by JUnit as a failure. If no exceptions are thrown, the test is assumed to have succeeded.A simple test looks like this:
public class Example { @Test public void method() { org.junit.Assert.assertTrue( new ArrayList().isEmpty() ); } }The
Testannotation supports two optional parameters. The first,expected, declares that a test method should throw an exception. If it doesn't throw an exception or if it throws a different exception than the one declared, the test fails. For example, the following test succeeds:@Test(expected=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class) public void outOfBounds() { new ArrayList<Object>().get(1); }The second optional parameter,
timeout, causes a test to fail if it takes longer than a specified amount of clock time (measured in milliseconds). The following test fails:@Test(timeout=100) public void infinity() { while(true); }- Since:
