A test case defines the fixture to run multiple tests. To define a test case
  1. implement a subclass of TestCase
  2. define instance variables that store the state of the fixture
  3. initialize the fixture state by overriding setUp()
  4. clean-up after a test by overriding tearDown().
Each test runs in its own fixture so there can be no side effects among test runs. Here is an example:
public class MathTest extends TestCase {
   protected double fValue1;
   protected double fValue2;
   protected void setUp() {
      fValue1= 2.0;
      fValue2= 3.0;
   }
}
For each test implement a method which interacts with the fixture. Verify the expected results with assertions specified by calling Assert.assertTrue(String, boolean) with a boolean.
   public void testAdd() {
      double result= fValue1 + fValue2;
      assertTrue(result == 5.0);
   }
Once the methods are defined you can run them. The framework supports both a static type safe and more dynamic way to run a test. In the static way you override the runTest method and define the method to be invoked. A convenient way to do so is with an anonymous inner class.
TestCase test= new MathTest("add") {
   public void runTest() {
      testAdd();
   }
};
test.run();
The dynamic way uses reflection to implement runTest(). It dynamically finds and invokes a method. In this case the name of the test case has to correspond to the test method to be run.
TestCase test= new MathTest("testAdd");
test.run();
The tests to be run can be collected into a TestSuite. JUnit provides different test runners which can run a test suite and collect the results. A test runner either expects a static method suite as the entry point to get a test to run or it will extract the suite automatically.
public static Test suite() {
   suite.addTest(new MathTest("testAdd"));
   suite.addTest(new MathTest("testDivideByZero"));
   return suite;
}
