JUnit Doclet Patches

About my JUnitDoclet patches

JUnitDoclet is a JUnit test-code-generator, which also does incremental updates. This page is devoted to my JUnitDoclet patches. For the time being, there is only one available. Let's see, maybe I there is need for other improvements (and I have the time)!

Exception Handling Patch

Description

My patch adds automatic code generation for exception handling.

Consider the following method:

 public void setPriceCode(int i) throws IllegalPriceException {
   if(i != CHILDRENS || i != REGULAR || i != NEW_RELEASE){
     throw new IllegalPriceException("illegal price code!");
   }
   else { priceCode = i; }
 }

JUnitDoclet now generates the following test automatically:

 public void testSetPriceCode throws Exception {
     // JUnitDoclet begin method getTitle

     //insert code testing basic functionality
     try {
       movie.setPriceCode(null);
     }
     catch (Throwable e) {
       fail("Failed with:" + e);
     }

     //insert code triggering IllegalPriceException
     try {
       movie.setPriceCode(null);
       fail("Should raise IllegalPriceException");
     }
     catch (IllegalPriceException e) {
     }
     catch (Throwable e) {
       fail("Failed with:" + e);
     }
     // JUnitDoclet end method getTitle
 }
