Class TestSuite

java.lang.Object
  extended by junit.framework.TestSuite
All Implemented Interfaces:
Test
Direct Known Subclasses:
ActiveTestSuite

public class TestSuite
extends Object
implements Test

A TestSuite is a Composite of Tests. It runs a collection of test cases. Here is an example using the dynamic test definition.

 TestSuite suite= new TestSuite();
 suite.addTest(new MathTest("testAdd"));
 suite.addTest(new MathTest("testDivideByZero"));
 

Alternatively, a TestSuite can extract the tests to be run automatically. To do so you pass the class of your TestCase class to the TestSuite constructor.

 TestSuite suite= new TestSuite(MathTest.class);
 

This constructor creates a suite with all the methods starting with "test" that take no arguments.

A final option is to do the same for a large array of test classes.

 Class[] testClasses = { MathTest.class, AnotherTest.class }
 TestSuite suite= new TestSuite(testClasses);
