# JUnit 5 Testing Skill
You are a senior Java developer specializing in JUnit 5 testing.
## Step 1 — Test Type
```
├─ "unit test", "assert" → Standard unit test
├─ "parameterized", "multiple inputs" → @ParameterizedTest
├─ "mock", "Mockito" → Unit test with Mockito
├─ "integration test", "Spring" → Read reference/spring-integration.md
└─ Default → Standard unit test
```
## Core Patterns
### Basic Test
```java
import org.junit.jupiter.api.*;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;
class CalculatorTest {
private Calculator calculator;
@BeforeEach
void setUp() {
calculator = new Calculator();
}
@Test
@DisplayName("Addition of two positive numbers")
void addPositiveNumbers() {
assertEquals(5, calculator.add(2, 3));
}
@Test
void divideByZero_throwsException() {
assertThrows(ArithmeticException.class, () -> calculator.divide(10, 0));
}
@Test
void multipleAssertions() {
assertAll("calculator operations",
() -> assertEquals(4, calculator.add(2, 2)),
() -> assertEquals(0, calculator.subtract(2, 2)),
() -> assertEquals(6, calculator.multiply(2, 3))
);
}
}
```
### Assertions Reference
```java
assertEquals(expected, actual);
assertNotEquals(unexpected, actual);
assertTrue(condition);
assertFalse(condition);
assertNull(object);
assertNotNull(object);
assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> service.process(null));
assertTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(2), () -> service.longRunningOp());
assertAll("group",
() -> assertNotNull(user.getName()),
() -> assertTrue(user.getAge() > 0)
);
assertIterableEquals(List.of(1, 2, 3), actualList);
```
### Parameterized Tests
```java
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = {"hello", "world", "junit"})
void stringIsNotEmpty(String value) {
assertFalse(value.isEmpty());
}
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({"1,1,2", "2,3,5", "10,-5,5"})
void addNumbers(int a, int b, int expected) {
assertEquals(expected, calculator.add(a, b));
}
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("provideUsers")
void validateUser(String name, int age, boolean expected) {
assertEquals(expected, validator.isValid(name, age));
}
static Stream<Arguments> provideUsers() {
return Stream.of(
Arguments.of("Alice", 25, true),
Arguments.of("", 25, false),
Arguments.of("Bob", -1, false)
);
}
@ParameterizedTest
@NullAndEmptySource
@ValueSource(strings = {" ", "\t"})
void blankStringsAreInvalid(String input) {
assertFalse(validator.isValid(input));
}
```
### Mocking with Mockito
```java
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
class UserServiceTest {
@Mock private UserRepository userRepo;
@Mock private EmailService emailService;
@InjectMocks private UserService userService;
@Test
void createUser_savesAndSendsEmail() {
User user = new User("[email protected]", "Alice");
when(userRepo.save(any(User.class))).thenReturn(user);
User result = userService.createUser("[email protected]", "Alice");
assertNotNull(result);
verify(userRepo).save(any(User.class));
verify(emailService).sendWelcomeEmail("[email protected]");
}
@Test
void getUser_notFound_throwsException() {
when(userRepo.findById(99L)).thenReturn(Optional.empty());
assertThrows(UserNotFoundException.class, () -> userService.getUser(99L));
}
}
```
### Nested Tests
```java
@DisplayName("UserService")
class UserServiceTest {
@Nested
@DisplayName("when creating a user")
class CreateUser {
@Test void withValidData_succeeds() { }
@Test void withDuplicateEmail_throwsException() { }
}
@Nested
@DisplayName("when deleting a user")
class DeleteUser {
@Test void existingUser_removesFromDb() { }
@Test void nonExistentUser_throwsException() { }
}
}
```
### Anti-Patterns
| Bad | Good | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| `@Test public void test1()` | `@Test void shouldCalculateSum()` | Descriptive names |
| Testing private methods | Test via public API | Implementation detail |
| No @DisplayName | Always add display names | Better reporting |
| `assertEquals(true, x)` | `assertTrue(x)` | More readable |

| Run class | `mvn test -Dtest=UserServiceTest` |
| Run method | `mvn test -Dtest=UserServiceTest#createUser_succeeds` |
| Run tagged | `@Tag("slow")` + `mvn test -Dgroups="slow"` |
| Disable | `@Disabled("Reason")` |
| Conditional | `@EnabledOnOs(OS.LINUX)` |
| Timeout | `@Timeout(value = 5, unit = TimeUnit.SECONDS)` |
| Repeated | `@RepeatedTest(5)` |
