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.

Integration Of JUnit 5 With External Frameworks

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
- Isaac Newton

 

As described in Chapter 2, What's New in JUnit, the extension model of JUnit 5 allows us to extend the core functionality of JUnit 5 by a third party (tool vendor, developers, and so on). In the Jupiter extension model, an extension point is a callback interface that the extension implements and then registers (activates) in the JUnit 5 framework. As we will discover in this chapter, the JUnit 5 extension model can be used to provide seamless integration with existing third-party frameworks. Concretely, in this chapter, we review JUnit 5 extension for the following technologies:

  • Mockito: Mock (test double) unit testing framework.
  • Spring: A Java framework for building enterprise applications.
  • Selenium: A testing framework...
