Lab Practical: Unit Testing using JUnit

Objective:
To learn the fundamentals of unit testing and practice writing and executing JUnit test cases
to ensure individual units of code function correctly.

Outcomes:
- Understand the importance of unit testing in software development.
- Learn how to write JUnit test cases for Java programs.
- Execute test cases and interpret results.
- Improve code reliability through test-driven development practices.

Software/Tools Required:
- Java JDK (v8 or higher)
- JUnit (v4 or v5)
- IDE with JUnit support (Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or VS Code)
- Maven or Gradle (for dependency management, optional)

Theory Brief:
Unit testing is a software testing technique where individual units or components of a
program are tested in isolation to ensure they work as intended. JUnit is a widely-used
testing framework for Java that allows developers to write repeatable tests to verify the
correctness of their code.

Procedure:

Step 1: Set up the Development Environment


 Install Java JDK and your preferred IDE.
 Create a new Java project in the IDE.
 Add JUnit library (v4 or v5) to the project dependencies.

Step 2: Create a Java Class


 Write a simple Java class with methods to be tested. Example: Calculator class with add,
subtract methods.

Step 3: Write JUnit Test Cases


 Create a new test class in the test directory.
 Use @Test annotation to define test methods.
 Use assertions to validate expected outcomes (e.g., assertEquals).

Step 4: Run the Tests


 Use IDE or command line to run JUnit tests.
 Review the output to identify passed and failed tests.

Step 5: Debug and Refactor


 Fix any issues found during testing.
 Re-run the test cases to verify the fixes.

Sample Code:
Java Class (Calculator.java):

public class Calculator {


public int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
public int subtract(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}
}

JUnit Test Class (CalculatorTest.java):

import static org.junit.Assert.*;


import org.junit.Test;

public class CalculatorTest {


@Test
public void testAdd() {
Calculator calc = new Calculator();
assertEquals(5, calc.add(2, 3));
}

@Test
public void testSubtract() {
Calculator calc = new Calculator();
assertEquals(1, calc.subtract(3, 2));
}
}
