Learn Java Unit Testing with JUnit 5 in 20 Steps - Step 04 - First Unit Test with JUnit - String length() method

The video tutorial introduces unit testing, emphasizing that the absence of failure indicates success. It explains how to write effective assertions to verify method outputs. The tutorial guides viewers through creating a basic unit test using JUnit, focusing on comparing expected and actual outputs. It highlights the importance of continuous integration in testing and provides an exercise to write unit tests for Math class methods.

What is the primary purpose of writing assertions in unit tests?

• To improve the performance of the code

• To verify that the actual output matches the expected output

• To document the code functionality

• To ensure the code compiles correctly

In JUnit 5, which method is commonly used to compare expected and actual values?

• assertEquals

• assertTrue

• assertNotNull

• assertSame

What happens when the expected and actual outputs do not match in a unit test?

• The test passes silently

• The test is skipped

• The test fails and an error is thrown

• The test passes with a warning

Why is it beneficial to run unit tests as part of continuous integration?

• To reduce the size of the codebase

• To automatically fix bugs in the code

• To quickly identify when a bug is introduced

• To eliminate the need for manual testing

Which exercise is suggested to practice writing unit tests?

• Writing tests for Math class methods like min and max

• Writing tests for a database connection

• Writing tests for a custom class

• Writing tests for a user interface
