Notes on Unit Testing

Some notes on the unit test system (mostly from the tutorial on unit testing, which can be found at http://www.bluej.org/tutorial/testing-tutorial.pdf.

To make the unit testing support visible, go to tools -> preferences -> show testing tools
Right-click on the class and select Create Test Class item (you can also do this from the New Class button)
From the ...Test class, select Create Test Method. "test" is automatically inserted at the beginning of your name for the test. Recording begins
Go through the sequence of actions you want to happen in the test (including any printing you want done).
Click "End" to end the recording.
To run a test, click the Run Tests button and select the test you want to run from the list.
There is more that can be done, so we will revisit the Unit Test option as we go along.
