AtUnit

AtUnit minimizes boilerplate code in unit tests and guides test development by enforcing good practices.

  • mark exactly one field with @Unit to indicate the object under test.
  • mark fields with @Mock or @Stub to obtain mock objects
  • inject your tests, and your test subjects, using your favorite IoC container

Mock Objects Integration

AtUnit integrates with JMock or EasyMock to provide mock objects:

  • obtain a JMock context simply by declaring a field
  • annotate fields with @Mock to obtain JMock or !EasyMock mock objects
  • annotate fields with @Stub to obtain a JMock or !EasyMock stub object

... or you can use your own mock objects plug-in with two easy steps:

  • implement the MockFramework interface
  • annotate your tests with @MockFrameworkClass(MyMockFramework.class)

Dependency Injection

AtUnit integrates with Guice or Spring to take all of the work out of dependency-injected tests.

With Guice:

  • never see the Injector, never write bootstrapping boilerplate!
  • @Inject test class fields without even defining a Module
  • declaratively obtain mock objects with @Inject @Mock
  • if you need more binding flexibility, simply have your test class implement Module

With Spring:

  • annotate fields with @Bean to get them from the Spring context
  • fields annotated with @Bean which do not appear in your Spring context are added to it automatically! (This includes @Mock and @Stub fields.)
  • !AtUnit looks for a Spring XML file with the same name as your test, or you can specify the location yourself with @Context("filename")
  • Most of the time, you don't even need a Spring XML file!

You can easily plug in other containers in two steps: * implement the Container interface * annotate your tests with @ContainerClass(MyContainer.class)

Get Started

These Example AtUnit Tests are the quickest way to get started with AtUnit. They demonstrate most permutations of supported containers and mock frameworks, and illustrate the various ways AtUnit makes writing tests easier.
