Transitioning to Java

By: Ken Fogel

Overview of this book

This comprehensive guide will help non-Java developers already using different languages transition from their current language to all things Java. The chapters are designed in a way that re-enforces a developer’s existing knowledge of object-oriented methodologies as they apply to Java. This book has been divided into four sections, with each section touching upon different aspects that’ll enable your effective transition. The first section helps you get to grips with the Java development environment and the Maven build tool for modern Java applications. In the second section, you’ll learn about Java language fundamentals, along with exploring object-oriented programming (OOP) methodologies and functional programming and discovering how to implement software design patterns in Java. The third section shows you how to code in Java on different platforms and helps you get familiar with the challenges faced on these platforms. In the fourth section, you’ll find out how you can manage and package your Java code. By the end of this Java programming book, you’ll have learned the core concepts of Java that’ll help you successfully transition from a different language to Java.

Performing parameterized testing

This leaves one more type of testing to look at, a parameterized test. As you may have realized, if you want to run a test to determine whether the result is accurate for several values, then you will need one method per set of values. JUnit 5 simplifies this task by allowing you to create a list of values. Let’s see how this works. Here is the new parameterized test class:

public class ParameterizedTests {
    private Calculation calc;
    private FinancialData data;

We will not instantiate the FinancialData object here as we did in the previous example. It will be created by a private helper method:

    @BeforeEach
    public void init() {
        calc = new Calculation();
    }

The first annotation declares that this will be a parameterized test. This means that this method will be run once...
