Junit is used for performing testing on our own piece of code for comparing the behaviour of our bussiness method.
In order to test our bussiness logic we have to utilize this .
For Implementating unit test cases we can use Junit.
It is very frequently used testing tool for unit testing.
There are several features of Junit,which are as follows, test our own piece of code make it easy using junit,here we can verify our actual behaviour and expected behaviour of bussiness logic.
It can easily integrate with your project,just we have to add the junit dependencies in pom.xml.
We can utilize annotation for understanding the behaviour of test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can only test the bussiness logic which are implemented completely.
We cannot test the final method,static and private methods using junit.
Lack of information of test code fails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Junit is widely Used Framework for writing and running unit testing in java.
Junit allow developer to write test case that are specific to their testing code requirement.
Junit helps developer to write clean code by providing annotation and assertions support.
From Junit 4 from onwards we have explanations backing to play out the Unit testing.
Backing of Statements assists us with contrasting the genuine and anticipated results.
JUnit is an open source means its source code is available to the users.
We can perform Unit Testing, Junit is utilized to perform Unit testing for java applications.
We can plan our own test case by utilizing JUNIT5.
It is also cross-platform means it is not dedicated to one particular Operating System, it is available for Windows, MacOs,Linux also.
@Test, @After, @Before annotations makes it easy to write test case scenarios.
Junit Provides detailed error messages like stack traces, no. of testcase passed,failed, reason for failed test cases, we can set breakpoints for debugging also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To utilize full potential of Junit ,we have to depend on third party library, which increase project complexity.
It is not suitable for all Testing,Junit primarly focuses on unit testing
It is designed mainly for testing java code,not for any other programming languages.
We can't include Junit for testing private method.
For Small project this much unnecessary configuration is required which makes project complex.
JUnit we can use just to perform java classes unit testing.
We can't use Junit for jsp testing.
It does't provide mocking for that we have to use Mockito framework and EasyMock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Quick and easy to learn.
- advantage of test methods consuming data arguments directly from the configured source.
- recommended for new learner.
In general:
- JUnit testing saves time and money.
- JUnit testing is an Integral part of extreme programming.
- JUnit testing helps gauge performance.
- JUnit testing improves code coverage.
- JUnit testing reduces code complexity.
The annotations of JUnit testing, that can be used while writing the test cases in Junit framework are
@Test: the test annotation specifies the test method.
@Test(timeout=1000) this type of annotations specifies that the method will be failed if it takes more than 1000 milliseconds.
@BeforeClass: this annotation specifies that the method will be invoked only once before all tests starts.
Before: this method invokes at the very beginning of the each test.
@After: this annotation invokes this method invokes after each test.
@After class annotation specifies that the method will invoke only once at the end of all test.
The org.Junit package contains many interfaces and classes like Assert, Test, before etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
dependency feature is missing up to version 4. Though then it is fine because version 5 has such dependency management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very simple framework for writing automated, self-verifying tests in Java. It enables fast and smart testing. Very helpful for even the simplest of projects. It has come up with a new feature testing as well which is very useful. It is quick and effective, and it improves the code coverage. Apart from that, it reduces the code complexity which comes very useful for daily use and running daily tests.
It has many support documents available at ease and the test reporting is immediate. I have used it more than any other unit. It is very basic but does the work perfectly. It is supported by many IDE's. Because of that, the installation becomes way easier to do and easier to use. The IDE integration is very nice as well. Very easy with Eclipse, Maven, or even Gradle. JUnit testing is an integral part of extreme programming.
It is very quick and easy to learn. Even for new learners, it is recommended. It gives a wider range of testing and means to identify the test methods. Very effective for Test Suite development. It saves a lot of time and money for its quick test runs. The Framework is open source and some of the good features of it are Test Runner, JUNIT classes, and TestSuite. JUnit testing helps gauge performance.
It is not at all complex and it provides a way to develop very basic test cases to very complex ones. It is the advantage of test methods consuming data arguments directly from the configured source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few things that can improve JUnit. Like failure messages pointing out to why it failed and giving appropriate line number. The error code or something could be then tracked to get the correction. So I think important failure feedback should be improved, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
JUnit provides a way to develop very basic test cases to the most complex ones via individual test cases to test suites. At every level of testing I found it winning the code. Even we use other tools, we have to stick to JUnit for its effective and basic testing framework used in wider ways. TDD (Test driven development) means nothing without JUnit as it provides easy approach to develop the test cases in parallel of code. Detection of errors from black to gray level testing is main theme of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
JUnit improving day to day, so need to remove obselete features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Due to its simplicity JUnit should be first option when testing the java applications. JUnit can be used separately or integrated with build tools like Maven and Ant and third party extensions, such as dbUnit cor database testing operations, xmlUnit.

It cannot do dependency testing as opposed to TestNG framework.
It's not suitable for higher level testing i.e. for large test suites.
Group testing cannot be done in JUnit, which is available in TestNG.
Can't create HTML reports of test cases. You need to use ANT to create tests HTML reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about JUnit test is that it help developers to write code in faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Junit test not suitable for dependency testing that is it difficult to test higher level of testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to write tests with JUnit. Since I've started to do TDD, JUnit has always been a tool in my belt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it takes lots of time to write tests, especially for more complex hard-to-test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
