What is Unit Testing in Java?

Unit testing in Java involves testing individual components (methods, classes) to ensure they function correctly in isolation. This helps identify and fix issues early in the development cycle, improving code reliability and maintainability.

Setting Up Java Unit Testing

1. Install Dependencies

Common unit testing frameworks in Java include JUnit 4, JUnit 5, and TestNG. For mocking dependencies, Mockito and Hamcrest are widely used.

For Maven projects, add the following dependencies to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <!-- JUnit 5 -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
        <version>5.8.1</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    
    <!-- Mockito -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
        <artifactId>mockito-core</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

For Gradle projects, add this to build.gradle

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:5.8.1'
    testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:4.0.0'
}

2. Writing a Simple JUnit Test

Example of a basic unit test using JUnit 5:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;

class CalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void testAddition() {
        Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
        assertEquals(5, calculator.add(2, 3));
    }
}

‍3.Running Tests in IntelliJ IDEA or VS Code

IntelliJ IDEA: Right-click the test file → Run 'CalculatorTest'.
VS Code: Use the JUnit Test Explorer extension.
