Course Headline: A Comprehensive Guide to JUnit with 25 Solved Examples

Are you ready to master the art of testing in Java? Our "Learn by Example: JUnit" course is designed to take you from a beginner to an advanced user, all through hands-on practice with real-world examples. Let's embark on this journey together! 🚀

Course Description

JUnit stands out as a robust testing framework in the Java ecosystem. Its core philosophy is simple: allow developers to focus on what really matters - testing their application's functionality, while JUnit handles the intricate details of running, monitoring, and reporting test results. This course will guide you through writing, running, and understanding unit tests using JUnit's comprehensive features. With over 25 solved examples, you'll gain a profound understanding of the framework and its capabilities.

What You'll Learn:

• Assertions (🎯): Dive into the heart of JUnit tests. Assertions are the building blocks that ensure your code behaves as expected. You'll learn how to use them effectively to validate your application's logic.

• Matchers (🔍): Discover how to craft sophisticated tests with matchers, which allow for more readable and maintainable test cases. Plus, you'll even learn how to implement your own custom matchers to suit your unique testing needs!

• Assumptions (🤔): Check for critical preconditions and external dependencies with assumptions. Learn how to safeguard your tests against unexpected environmental changes or invalid input data.

• Fixtures (🏭): Understand the setup and teardown processes in JUnit. Fixtures are crucial for preparing and cleaning up test environments, ensuring your tests run smoothly each time.

• Runners (⚙️): Lift the hood of JUnit to explore what happens behind the scenes when a test runs. Different runners can change how tests are executed, and this module will teach you how to use them effectively for various scenarios.

• Mockito (🤫): Master the use of mock objects with Mockito, an essential framework for testing interdependent classes or methods without relying on actual implementations.
