Mastering Software Testing with JUnit 5

By: Boni Garcia

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.

Dependency injection

In former JUnit versions, test constructors and methods were not allowed to have parameters. One of the major changes in JUnit 5 is that both test constructors and methods are now allowed to include parameters. This feature enables the dependency injection for constructors and methods.

As introduced in Chapter 2, What's New In JUnit 5 of this book, the extension model has an extension that provides dependency injections for Jupiter tests, called ParameterResolver, which defines an API for test extensions that wish to dynamically resolve parameters at runtime.

If a test constructor or a method annotated with @Test, @TestFactory, @BeforeEach, @AfterEach, @BeforeAll, or @AfterAll accepts a parameter, that parameter is resolved at runtime by a resolver (object with parent class ParameterResolver). There are three built-in resolvers registered automatically...
