Testing with JUnit

Using custom runners

This section will introduce different extensions that are helpful for structuring your test universe. Further, we'll shed some light on the consequences of overdone runner usage.

Furnishing a suite with test cases

Probably one of the best known runners is Suite. Its purpose is to compose several test cases and/or other suites into a single entity that is processable by JUnit, which allows an example to combine all test cases of a subsystem. This might be an appropriate excerpt with respect to the overall test execution duration on your local machine—if you're about to enhance some of the subsystem's capabilities.

The suite-defining class has normally no body implementation. The composition is accomplished by means of the @SuiteClasses ...
