Lesson 37 / 68

Writing Multiple Test Cases Together

This lesson covers running multiple test cases together in Java, so you understand the idea behind a batch of unit tests. It's for anyone searching "Java unit test tutorial."

Testing multiple input patterns against a single function together is called a unit test. Preparing several cases ahead of time โ€” a normal value, a boundary value, a special value โ€” helps you find bugs faster.

The example bundles several test cases into a 2D array, int[][] testCases, loops through them one at a time passing each to the add() method, checking the result, and counting how many passed in passed.

A common early mistake is testing only the normal case and forgetting to check boundary values (like 0 or a negative number). It's important to include the easy-to-overlook cases in your tests too.

Real Java development uses the standard JUnit testing framework, but the underlying idea is exactly the same as what you're learning here.
