Customizing Display Names of Parameterized Tests in JUnit 5

By default, the displayName of a parameterized test invocation contains the invocation index and the String representation of all arguments for that specific invocation. However, you can customize invocation display names via the name attribute of the @ParameterizedTest annotation. Below are the placeholders are supported within custom display names. Placeholder Description {index} the current invocation… Read More »

Argument Aggregation in Parameterized Tests in Junit 5

This post talks about Argument Aggregation supports provided by JUnit Jupiter in the case of  @ParameterizedTest By default, each argument provided to a @ParameterizedTest method corresponds to a single method parameter. Consequently, argument sources that are expected to supply a large number of arguments can lead to large method signatures. In that case, an ArgumentsAccessor may… Read More »

Argument Conversion in Parameterized Tests in Junit 5

In this post, We will talk and learn about  Implicit and explicit Argument Conversion in ParameterizedTest Tests in JUnit Jupiter Widening Conversion JUnit Jupiter supports Widening Primitive Conversion for arguments specified to a @ParameterizedTest. For example,  if a parameterized test annotated with @ValueSource(ints = { 1, 2, 3 }) can be declared to accept not only an argument of type int but also an… Read More »

Junit 5 Parameterized Tests with examples

Using Parameterized tests make it possible to run a test multiple times with different arguments. They are declared just like regular @Test methods but use the @ParameterizedTest annotation instead. Additionally, we must declare at least one source that will provide the arguments for each invocation and then consume the arguments in the test method. The following example demonstrates a… Read More »

JUnit 5 @RepeatedTest Annotation example

JUnit Jupiter provides the ability to repeat a test a specified number of times by annotating a method with @RepeatedTest and specifying the total number of repetitions desired. Every invocation of a repeated test behaves like the execution of a regular @Test method having full support for the same lifecycle callbacks and extensions. The following… Read More »

Test Interfaces and Default Methods in JUnit 5

JUnit Jupiter allows @Test, @RepeatedTest, @ParameterizedTest, @TestFactory, @TestTemplate, @BeforeEach, and @AfterEach to be declared on interface default methods.  @BeforeAll and @AfterAll can either be declared on static methods in a test interface or on interface default methods if the test interface or test class is annotated with @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS) @ExtendWith and @Tag can be declared on… Read More »

Dependency Injection and Testing in JUnit 5

In this post, We will talk and learn about Dependency Injection for Constructors and Methods In all previous JUnit versions, test constructors or methods were not allowed to have parameters. We have one of the major changes in JUnit Jupiter, both test constructors and methods are now permitted to have parameters. These allow for greater… Read More »

JUnit 5 Nested Tests Example

The @Nested tests give the test developer more capabilities to express the relationship among several groups of tests. Only non-static nested classes (i.e. inner classes) can serve as @Nested test classes. Nesting can be arbitrarily deep and these inner classes are considered to be full members of the test class family with one exception: @BeforeAll… Read More »

JUnit 5 @Tag Annotation example

We can use JUnit 5 @Tag to filter test cases from test plans. It helps us to create multiple different test plans for different environments or different use-cases or any specific requirements. we may execute a set of tests by including/excluding only those tagged tests in the test plan. @Tag Annotation Usage We may use @Tag annotation either at… Read More »

Test Execution Order in Junit 5

The true unit tests typically should not rely on the order in which they are executed but there are times when it is necessary to enforce a specific test method execution order — for example when We write integration tests or functional tests where the sequence of the tests is important. To control the order in which test methods are executed, annotate your… Read More »
