how to set the title for spring boot testing method?

Question

in jest, we can set the title or name or description for the specific test. For simple example like below:

const sum = require('./sum');

test('adds 1 + 2 to equal 3', () => {
  expect(sum(1, 2)).toBe(3);
});

and the test will give output

PASS  ./sum.test.js
✓ adds 1 + 2 to equal 3 (5ms)

you can find more about jest here: https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started

Then, how to do it in spring? Is that possible? Thanks

Answer 1

Assuming sum method is defined somewhere, here is the code

@Test
@DisplayName("adds 1 + 2 to equal 3")
void test() {
    assertEquals(3, sum(1, 2));
}

Answer 2

If you are using junit framework for writing test cases for spring boot application, @DisplayName annotation is the answer for your use case. It is introduced from version 5 of junit and the below maven dependency is enough to use it in your test cases.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
    <version>5.8.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
