I am developing software that loads information from XML files using Android's implementation of java.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder and DocumentBuilderFactory. I am writing unit tests of my objects and I need to be able to provide a variety of xml files that will exercise the code under test. I am using Eclipse and have a separate Android Test Project. I cannot find a way to put the test xml into the test project such that the code under test can open the files. If I put the files in /assets of the test project, the code under test cannot see it. If I put the files in the /assets of the code

I know this is bad practice, but it needs to be done, or I'll need to switch to testng . Is there a way, similar to JUnit 3's testSuite, to specify the order of the tests to be run in a class? Michael D If you're sure you really want to do this: There may be a better way, but this is all I could come up with... JUnit4 has an annotation: @RunWith which lets you override the default Runner for your tests. In your case you would want to create a special subclass of BlockJunit4ClassRunner , and override computeTestMethods() to return tests in the order you want them executed. For example, let's

I believe that we are all know that setUp (@Before) will execute before any test method and tearDown(@After) will execute after test method. Also we know that Junit will create one instance of Test per test method . my question is that can we just move setUp method content to class Constructor and remove setUp method? is there any specific reason to keep setUp method? This (old) JUnit best practices article puts it like this: Do not use the test-case constructor to set up a test case Setting up a test case in the constructor is not a good idea. Consider: public class SomeTest extends TestCase
