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.

Putting all pieces together

In this last section of the book, we are going to review some of the major aspects covered in this book with a practical example. To that aim, a complete application is developed together with different types of tests implemented with JUnit 5.

Features and requirements

The history of our application begins with a hypothetical person, which loves cats. This person owns a clowder, and he/she would like to get feedback about them from the external world. For that reason, this person (we can him/her our client from now on) contacts with us to implement a web application which satisfies his/her needs. The name for that application will be "Rate my cat!". In a conversation with the client, we...
