JUnit Reports — Test Method Descriptions

Question

I am trying to see if there is a way to include \"descriptive text\" in my junit reports by way of javadocs. JUnit 4 doesnt seem to support the \'description\' attribute for the

Answer 1

I could imagine, that the Framework for Integrated Tests (FIT) would be a nice and clean solution.

What does FIT do?
FIT is a framework that allows to write tests via a table in a Word document, a wiki table or an html table.
Every character outside of a table is ignored by FIT and let you enter documentation, description, requirements and so on.

How does on of these tables look like?

Imagine a function MyMath.square(int) that squares it's input parameter. You have to build a so called Fixture, being an adapter between your MyMath and the following table:

class.with.Fixture.Square
x    square()
2    4
5    25

The first column describes input values, the second the expected result. If it's not equal, this field is marked as red.

How does a Fixture look like?
For the given example, this would be the correct fixture:

package class.with.Fixture // Must be the same as in the fist row of the table

public class Square extends Fixture {
    public int x; // Must be the same as in the second row
    public int square() { // Must be the same as in the second row
        return MyMath.square(x);
    }
}

Probably, you can use FIT for your requirements.
