An alternative to creating a construtor based parameter test is to declare parameters with the @Parameter annotation. When doing so, the data declared will be injected directly into the fields with out need a constructor. Follow the outline below to set up your unit test.
Setup
Simple calculator class
static class Calculator {
public static int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}Create a collection
@Parameters
public static Collection<Object[]> data() {
return Arrays.asList(new Object[][] {
{0, 0, 0},
{1, 0, 1},
{0, 1, 1},
{1, 1, 2},
{1, 2, 3},
{2, 1, 3}
});
}Declare parameters
The value represents the index of the array specified above. For the first iteration above, the value for int a would be 0 or the 0 based index.
@Parameter (value = 0) public int a;
@Parameter (value = 1) public int b;
@Parameter (value = 2) public int expected;Parameterized test
@Test
public void test_calculator_add () {
logger.info("a=" + a + " b " + b + " = c " + expected);
int calculatedValue = Calculator.add(a, b);
assertEquals(expected, calculatedValue);
}Output
a=0 b 0 = c 0
a=1 b 0 = c 1
a=0 b 1 = c 1
a=1 b 1 = c 2
a=1 b 2 = c 3
a=2 b 1 = c 3
