JUnit Basic Testing

Hi everyone !!!
Today let's take a look at the very popular testing tool, JUnit. As the name suggests JUnit is a unit testing tool for Java. Without further a do let's jump into JUnit testing.

Step 01 : Create a simple Java code in Eclipse. I have created a simple add and subtract method         inside Calculator class. This Calculator class lays inside Calculator package.

Fig 1: Step 01

Step 02: Next create a JUnit test case by right clicking and selecting the JUnit test case under new option. Inside the test case implement method to assert (check) the expected outcome and the actual outcome of the methods which were implemented inside Calculator class.

Fig 2: Step 02-a

In CalculatorTest class I have created an object of Calculator class(the class which has the methods I'm going to test). Next I have implemented 2 methods to test the addNumbers and subtractNumbers methods in Calculator class. To make this as testing methods I have used @Test annotation. Here both the methods in Calculator class is returning an integer value, which will be the actual output of the unit(in this case it is the methods).Using assertEquals method I have compared the expected and actual output of the methods. 

Fig 3: Step 02-b

In the right bottom corner you'll be able to see something like in Step 02-b image. This will give a summary of the JUnit test test. Inside Calculator package there is a class called CalculatorTest which has an object of Calculator class "test" and it has 2 methods,void testAddnumbers() and void testsubtractNumbers().

Step 03 : Right click on CalculatorTest class and run as JUnit test case. You'll be able to see the following result.

Fig 4: Step 03

After executing the CalculatorTest class we'll be able to the output in the console tab. Since the test case was success we won't be able to see any red bars on the left top corner. On the left top corner we can see the time taken for execution and the total number of methods available and the number of methods that were successfully executed. 

As you can see that JUnit is a very simple yet efficient tool to do unit testing with all the necessary information presented at the end of executing the test case. I hope that this was very useful for you guys.... So see you next time....... :)

Hashing... First Step to Secure Software Programming

Image
Where it all started? Anyone in the field of programming wouldn't have missed the chance of implementing a login page. This login page might look very simple and straightforward. But in reality, it is not. What most of us would have done for our first login page is a simple string comparison for both username and password which might have already been hard-coded in the program. Some might have retrieved the username and password from the database and compared it with the user entering credentials based on roles. If we think about this scenario in a real-world enterprise or corporate level applications, the authentication procedure will not take place as simple as that. Authentication Authentication is all about ensuring that the system is being accessed by the correct user. Authentication plays a very important role in most of the systems or applications. The reason is to prevent the system from unauthorized access. Authentication methodologies 1. Username Password authentic...

Encryption to take secure programming a step forward

Image
[http://blog.trendmicro.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cartoon-2.jpg] What is "Encryption"? Why is it associated with secure programming? What are the benefits of encryption? These are questions to be evaluated in this blog post along with some interesting facts about encryption. As we all know hashing is a one-way process in which the plain text/input cannot be retrieved from the hash value. What if we want to get the plain-text from the hash value? What could be the solution? The solution is Encryption . Encryption Encryption is a technique used to convert a plain text into an encoded format or cipher-text which could be reversed back to the original plain text. Unlike hashing, encryption is a two-way technique. Fig 1: The flow of encryption Fig 2: Encryption/Decryption related details for the Fig 1 Since encryption is a two-way process it allows the users to retrieve the encrypted value back to its original text. This is very useful in terms...

RMI - Weather station

Image
Hi friends !!!! :) Today I like to share one of my projects with you..... It's basically a weather station  where weather readings are gathered and updated using RMI technology, Java Remote Method Invocation. The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) system allows an object running in one Java virtual machine to invoke methods on an object running in another Java virtual machine. RMI provides for remote communication between programs written in the Java programming language. Fig 1: RMI method invocation Since we have the theory background of RMI I thought of sharing my project in which I have implemented a very basic client-server program using RMI to pass information from server to the monitoring station. As we all know in a weather forecasting station we have to gather the weather readings and send them in a periodic manner to all the stations connected to the server. Through this we can invoke methods running in one Java virtual machine through an object running in a...
