English Delivery Only: Unit Testing with JUnit

Who will the Course Benefit?

This Unit Testing with JUnit course will benefit Java developers and testers who are new to JUnit and/or unit testing more generally.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide the delegate with the knowledge to be able to design and code good quality,isolated unit tests with JUnit that exploit all the features of the JUnit framework.

Requirements

Delegates attending this course should be familiar with basic programming concepts and have some experience coding with Java at least. Ideally delegates will be competent Java developers who have a good understanding of OO principles and are able to build simple applications that exploit APIs including Collections,IO,and JDBC. This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Java Programming 1 / Java Developer course.

JUnit 5 exploits modern Java features including lambda expressions. Some experience or familiarity with such features,therefore,is desirable. These skills can be obtained by attendance on the Java Programming 2 / Java Advanced Developer course.
