54.1 Unit Test Basics

This topic teaches Unit Test Basics as part of Testing with JUnit Concepts. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

Code example

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Unit Test Basics
System.out.println("Java example"); } }

Step-by-step explanation

Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
Read each statement in execution order.
Predict what the program or query should produce.
Run it in a safe local/test environment.
Change one input and explain the new result.

Expected output/result

You should see a small result that demonstrates Unit Test Basics. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

Common mistakes

Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.

Practice exercise

Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.

54.2 Arrange-Act-Assert

This topic teaches Arrange-Act-Assert as part of Testing with JUnit Concepts. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

Code example

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Arrange-Act-Assert
System.out.println("Java example"); } }

Step-by-step explanation

Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
Read each statement in execution order.
Predict what the program or query should produce.
Run it in a safe local/test environment.
Change one input and explain the new result.

Expected output/result

You should see a small result that demonstrates Arrange-Act-Assert. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

Common mistakes

Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.

Practice exercise

Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.

54.3 Edge Cases

This topic teaches Edge Cases as part of Testing with JUnit Concepts. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

Code example

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Edge Cases
System.out.println("Java example"); } }

Step-by-step explanation

Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
Read each statement in execution order.
Predict what the program or query should produce.
Run it in a safe local/test environment.
Change one input and explain the new result.

Expected output/result

You should see a small result that demonstrates Edge Cases. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

Common mistakes

Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.

Practice exercise

Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.

54.4 Test Doubles Concepts

This topic teaches Test Doubles Concepts as part of Testing with JUnit Concepts. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

Code example

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Test Doubles Concepts
System.out.println("Java example"); } }

Step-by-step explanation

Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
Read each statement in execution order.
Predict what the program or query should produce.
Run it in a safe local/test environment.
Change one input and explain the new result.

Expected output/result

You should see a small result that demonstrates Test Doubles Concepts. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

Common mistakes

Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.

Practice exercise

Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.

54.5 Automation and Coverage

This topic teaches Automation and Coverage as part of Testing with JUnit Concepts. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

Code example

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Automation and Coverage
System.out.println("Java example"); } }

Step-by-step explanation

Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
Read each statement in execution order.
Predict what the program or query should produce.
Run it in a safe local/test environment.
Change one input and explain the new result.

Expected output/result

You should see a small result that demonstrates Automation and Coverage. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

Common mistakes

Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.
