JUnit Kung Fu: Getting More Out of Your Unit Tests

JUnit is the de facto standard in Java testing. Yet many advanced JUnit features are little known and poorly understood. This session reviews some lesser-known features of JUnit, along with a few associated libraries, that can make your unit tests more powerful, expressive, and fun. The session is intended for Java developers, lead developers, and architects trying to introduce good testing practices into their teams.

Attendees will learn about the latest JUnit tips and tricks, including:

  • The fine art of naming your tests
  • Writing clearer and more expressive tests with Hamcrest and Mockito
  • Data-driven testing in JUnit with parameterized tests and theories
  • Using JUnit rules to extend your test cases and writing your own rules to customize JUnit
  • Extending JUnit by writing your own test runners
