Welcome to the next stage in mastering Test Driven Development (TDD) in Java, where we will focus on setting up a robust testing environment. As you have learned through the TDD process, the Red-Green-Refactor cycle involves writing a failing test, implementing just enough code to pass it, and refining the implementation.
In this lesson, we will set up the necessary tools for testing with JUnit
, guiding you on how to create an efficient Java testing environment that complements the TDD cycle.
JUnit
is a popular and widely used testing framework for Java. Now, let's dive into setting up our testing environment in a systematic way.
To start using JUnit
with Java, you'll need to create a test project within your environment. This can be accomplished using Gradle, a powerful build tool for Java, by following these steps:
-
Create a new Gradle project:
-
Add the
JUnit
dependency to yourbuild.gradle
file: -
Sync your Gradle project:
