cases to share common test data and to assure certain pre- and postconditions
for every test method. At the end of a test run, JUnit reports a pass, failure or
error as its test result by means of assertions. The JUnit framework provides a
textual and a graphical test runner.
When putting the concepts into practice, the following steps have to be done 2 :
(1) Derive a subclass from junit.framework.Testcase;
(2) If fixture objects are needed, override the setUp() method;
(3) Define a number of tests that return void and whose method name begins
with test;
(4) If resources of the fixture need to be released, override the tearDown()
method;
(5) If a related set of test cases need to be grouped, define a test suite.
Mapping to JUnit JUnit served as one basis for the development of U2TP. Table
17.3 provides the mapping rules from U2TP to JUnit. A lot of the U2TP concepts
2 In Section 17.4.5, an example is shown.
