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.

Cucumber

Cucumber (https://cucumber.io/) is testing framework aimed to automate acceptance tests written following a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) style. Cucumber has been written in Ruby, although implementations for other languages (including Java, JavaScript, and Python) are available.

Cucumber in a nutshell

Cucumber executes tests specified written in language called Gherkin. It is a plaint-text natural language (for example, English or one of other 60+ languages supported by Cucumber) with a given structure. Gherkin has been designed to be used by non-programmers, typically customers, business analysis, managers, and so on.

The extension for Gherkin files is .feature.

In a Gherkin file, non-blank lines can start with...
