Contract Tests in JUnit 4

As part of his talk on integration tests J.B. Rainsberger talked about how contract tests can be used to test the interaction between classes when using a mockist approach to developer testing. He wondered aloud if it would be possible to write these kinds of tests using abstract classes and JUnit 4. The answer is yes, with some caveats, as Ben Rady demonstrates it.

In The Brain of JBehave 2

Published June 23rd, 2009 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Elizabeth Keogh is a developer for JBehave, a behaviour-driven development testing framework built on top of JUnit. Elizabeth Keogh showed an example of using the current version of JBehave with a little screencast: she used the Game of Life program that she had written to write JBehave tests in what seemingly looked like natural language. JBehave actually operates with keywords in the test files and uses pattern matching to see whether the test was successful.
