Class Parameterized
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Describable,Filterable,Orderable,Sortable
Parameterized implements parameterized tests.
When running a parameterized test class, instances are created for the
cross-product of the test methods and the test data elements.
For example, to test the + operator, write:
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class AdditionTest {
@Parameters(name = "{index}: {0} + {1} = {2}")
public static Iterable<Object[]> data() {
return Arrays.asList(new Object[][] { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 1, 2 },
{ 3, 2, 5 }, { 4, 3, 7 } });
}
private int firstSummand;
private int secondSummand;
private int sum;
public AdditionTest(int firstSummand, int secondSummand, int sum) {
this.firstSummand = firstSummand;
this.secondSummand = secondSummand;
this.sum = sum;
}
@Test
public void test() {
assertEquals(sum, firstSummand + secondSummand);
}
}
Each instance of AdditionTest will be constructed using the
three-argument constructor and the data values in the
@Parameters method.
In order that you can easily identify the individual tests, you may provide a
name for the @Parameters annotation. This name is allowed
to contain placeholders, which are replaced at runtime. The placeholders are
- {index}
- the current parameter index
- {0}
- the first parameter value
- {1}
- the second parameter value
- ...
- ...
In the example given above, the Parameterized runner creates
names like [2: 3 + 2 = 5]. If you don't use the name parameter,
then the current parameter index is used as name.
You can also write:
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class AdditionTest {
@Parameters(name = "{index}: {0} + {1} = {2}")
public static Iterable<Object[]> data() {
return Arrays.asList(new Object[][] { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 1, 2 },
{ 3, 2, 5 }, { 4, 3, 7 } });
}
@Parameter(0)
public int firstSummand;
@Parameter(1)
public int secondSummand;
@Parameter(2)
public int sum;
@Test
public void test() {
assertEquals(sum, firstSummand + secondSummand);
}
}
Each instance of AdditionTest will be constructed with the default constructor
and fields annotated by @Parameter will be initialized
with the data values in the @Parameters method.
The parameters can be provided as an array, too:
@Parameters
public static Object[][] data() {
return new Object[][] { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 1, 2 }, { 3, 2, 5 }, { 4, 3, 7 } } };
}
Tests with single parameter
If your test needs a single parameter only, you don't have to wrap it with an
array. Instead you can provide an Iterable or an array of
objects.
@Parameters
public static Iterable<? extends Object> data() {
return Arrays.asList("first test", "second test");
}
or
@Parameters
public static Object[] data() {
return new Object[] { "first test", "second test" };
}
Executing code before/after executing tests for specific parameters
If your test needs to perform some preparation or cleanup based on the
parameters, this can be done by adding public static methods annotated with
@BeforeParam/@AfterParam. Such methods should either have no
parameters or the same parameters as the test.
@BeforeParam
public static void beforeTestsForParameter(String onlyParameter) {
System.out.println("Testing " + onlyParameter);
}
Create different runners
By default the Parameterized runner creates a slightly modified
BlockJUnit4ClassRunner for each set of parameters. You can build an
own Parameterized runner that creates another runner for each set of
parameters. Therefore you have to build a ParametersRunnerFactory
that creates a runner for each TestWithParameters. (
TestWithParameters are bundling the parameters and the test name.)
The factory must have a public zero-arg constructor.
public class YourRunnerFactory implements ParametersRunnerFactory {
public Runner createRunnerForTestWithParameters(TestWithParameters test)
throws InitializationError {
return YourRunner(test);
}
}
Use the Parameterized.UseParametersRunnerFactory to tell the Parameterized
runner that it should use your factory.
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
@UseParametersRunnerFactory(YourRunnerFactory.class)
public class YourTest {
...
}
Avoid creating parameters
With assumptions you can dynamically skip tests.
Assumptions are also supported by the @Parameters method.
Creating parameters is stopped when the assumption fails and none of the
tests in the test class is executed. JUnit reports a
single assumption failure for the
whole test class in this case.
@Parameters
public static Iterable<? extends Object> data() {
String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase()
Assume.assumeTrue(os.contains("win"));
return Arrays.asList("first test", "second test");
}
