## Summary of Changes in version 4.6 ## ### Max ### JUnit now includes a new experimental Core, `MaxCore`. `MaxCore` remembers the results of previous test runs in order to run new tests out of order. `MaxCore` prefers new tests to old tests, fast tests to slow tests, and recently failing tests to tests that last failed long ago. There's currently not a standard UI for running `MaxCore` included in JUnit, but there is a UI included in the JUnit Max Eclipse plug-in at: http://www.junitmax.com/junitmax/subscribe.html Example: public static class TwoUnEqualTests { @Test public void slow() throws InterruptedException { Thread.sleep(100); fail(); } @Test public void fast() { fail(); } } @Test public void rememberOldRuns() { File maxFile = new File("history.max"); MaxCore firstMax = MaxCore.storedLocally(maxFile); firstMax.run(TwoUnEqualTests.class); MaxCore useHistory= MaxCore.storedLocally(maxFile); List failures= useHistory.run(TwoUnEqualTests.class) .getFailures(); assertEquals("fast", failures.get(0).getDescription().getMethodName()); assertEquals("slow", failures.get(1).getDescription().getMethodName()); } ### Test scheduling strategies ### `JUnitCore` now includes an experimental method that allows you to specify a model of the `Computer` that runs your tests. Currently, the only built-in Computers are the default, serial runner, and two runners provided in the `ParallelRunner` class: `ParallelRunner.classes()`, which runs classes in parallel, and `ParallelRunner.methods()`, which runs classes and methods in parallel. This feature is currently less stable than MaxCore, and may be merged with MaxCore in some way in the future. Example: public static class Example { @Test public void one() throws InterruptedException { Thread.sleep(1000); } @Test public void two() throws InterruptedException { Thread.sleep(1000); } } @Test public void testsRunInParallel() { long start= System.currentTimeMillis(); Result result= JUnitCore.runClasses(ParallelComputer.methods(), Example.class); assertTrue(result.wasSuccessful()); long end= System.currentTimeMillis(); assertThat(end - start, betweenInclusive(1000, 1500)); } ### Comparing double arrays ### Arrays of doubles can be compared, using a delta allowance for equality: @Test public void doubleArraysAreEqual() { assertArrayEquals(new double[] {1.0, 2.0}, new double[] {1.0, 2.0}, 0.01); } ### `Filter.matchDescription` API ### Since 4.0, it has been possible to run a single method using the `Request.method` API. In 4.6, the filter that implements this is exposed as `Filter.matchDescription`. ### Documentation ### - A couple classes and packages that once had empty javadoc have been doc'ed. - Added how to run JUnit from the command line to the cookbook. - junit-4.x.zip now contains build.xml ### Bug fixes ### - Fixed overly permissive @DataPoint processing (2191102) - Fixed bug in test counting after an ignored method (2106324)
