Record time it takes JUnit tests to run

Question

I would like to record how long it takes my JUnit test to run programmatically. I have a large number of tests in various test classes, and I would like to find out how long ea

You can also create a @Rule and instantiate the TestWatcher class. This is what worked for me. This is being defined in a class that extends TestCase.

public class CompositeWithTeardownDBUnitTest extends DBTestCase {

DBTestCase extends TestCase

code snippet in CompositeWithTeardownDBUnitTest

@Rule
public TestRule watcher = new TestWatcher() {

    protected void starting(Description description) {
        timeStart = System.currentTimeMillis();
        cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out
                .println("===========================================================================");
        System.out.println("Test: " + description.getMethodName());
        System.out.println("Start Time: " + dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));
        System.out
                .println("===========================================================================");
    }

    protected void finished(Description description) {
        timeEnd = System.currentTimeMillis();
        double seconds = (timeEnd-timeStart)/1000.0;
        System.out
        .println("\n===========================================================================");
        System.out
        .println("Test completed - ran in: "+new DecimalFormat("0.000").format(seconds)+" sec");
        System.out
        .println("===========================================================================\n");

    }
};

And the JUnit test classes just extend this class CompositeWithTeardownDBUnitTest.
