Generic JUnit test class

I wrote an interface MyInterface , which is going to be implemented by different implementors.

I also wrote a class MyInterfaceTest , which contains generic test methods that all implementors should be able to use to test their implementations.

I just don't know how to make it work as a JUnit test.

Currently, I have something like this:

public class MyInterfaceTest {
    private static MyInterface theImplementationToTest = null;

    @BeforeClass public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
                // put your implementation here:
        theImplementationToTest = new Implementation(...);
    }

    @AfterClass public static void tearDownAfterClass() throws Exception { 
        theImplementationToTest = null;
    }

    @Test public void test1() { /* uses theImplementationToTest */ }    
    @Test public void test2() { /* uses theImplementationToTest */ }    
}

I use the static method setUpBeforeClass because the initialization of each implementation takes a lot of time, so I want to initialize it once for all tests.

With this version of the test, implementors have to change the code of setUpBeforeClass and put their own implementation.

I am sure that there is another way to write MyInterfaceTest , so that implementors will only have to inherit it or send it a parameter, and not change the code. However, I am not experienced enough in JUnit to make it work. Can you please show me how to do this?

You can have the subclass implement just the before class method and inherit all the tests.

import org.junit.*;

public class ImplementingClassTest extends MyInterfaceTest {

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
        // put your implementation here:
         theImplementationToTest = new MyInterfaceImpl();
    }

}

This makes the abstract class you are writing look like:

import org.junit.*;

public abstract class MyInterfaceTest {
    protected static MyInterface theImplementationToTest = null;

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownAfterClass() throws Exception {
        theImplementationToTest = null;
    }

    @Test
    public void test1() { /* uses theImplementationToTest */
    }

    @Test
    public void test2() { /* uses theImplementationToTest */
    }
}

Normally, you would make the method the subclasses needed to implement abstract. Can't do that here since it is a static setup method. (In addition, you might want to refactor the instantiations to not take a long time as this is often an anti-pattern).

You should download a jar names junit-4.10.jar and add it to your project. Then let your class MyInterfaceTest inherit the class named TestCase , like public class MyInterfaceTest extends TestCase .
