Could you help me? I have the object with 50 fields (String a, Integer b ...) and I have the method with 'if' statement like this:
if( a==null OR b==null OR ...(for any field ) ) {
throw My Exception();
}
I am writing unit test for this method. I created 50 instantiations of my object like this
1. a=null, <-- only a is null for this instantiation 2. b=null <--- only b is null for this instantiation . . . 50. n=null <--- only n is null for this instantiation
My question is, do I have to write 50 @Test methods for this?
I wrote one @Test method like this but I am not sure that this is correct according to the paradigm of unit tests.
@Test
public void test(){
for(int a=0;a<50;a++){
try{
//I call the method with my if statament for any of 50 object
}
catch(MyException e){
y++;
}
}
Assert.assert(y,50);
}
I'm writing an answer using a JUnit 4 parameterized test. Since you already created 100 different instances of your object, just put that code in the parameters
method.
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class MyParameterizedTest {
MyObject value;
public MyParameterizedTest(MyObject value) {
this.value = value;
}
@Parameterized.Parameters
public static List<MyObject> parameters() {
// create a list with 100 different instances of your object...
// return it...
}
@Test(expected = MyException.class)
public void testMethodCallShouldThrowException() throws MyException {
// I call the method with my if statament for any of 100 object
myMethod(value);
}
}

This is probably not the answer you like to hear, but the precondition for meaningful unit tests is a reasonable design. Having a class with 100 attributes is definitely a design that can be improved.
So think about redesigning your class first.
Edit: At first sight my statement seems to contradict the Test Driven Design approach where you implement the unit tests without having implemented the classes. But as a result this will probably prevent you from ending up with a 100 field class. So it is not a contradiction.
