IDE Setup

Here, we are using Eclipse IDE for Java and Web Developers 2023-06. You may also use other platforms like IntelliJ, Spring suite tool, Spring Initializer, etc.

Step By Step Implementation

Step 1: Creation of Project

• Go to the file menu click new and navigate to Spring Starters project. If you don’t find the Spring Starters project immediately after the new one, then click other and find the Spring Starters project.
• File > new > Spring Starters project.

• Configuration for the new Spring Starter Project is below

• Name your project and configure the default options given if necessary.

Recommended Configurations:

For testing for JUnit testing are as follows:

1. Type: Maven
2. Packaging: Jar
3. Java Version: 8
4. Language: Java

• Make sure that, you have chosen the type as Maven and the version of Java should be at least 8.
• Add dependencies If you need any, otherwise, click finish.

Step 2: Adding dependencies

Let us configure our pom.xml file with the following dependencies:

JUnit Jupiter API:

The JUnit Jupiter API is the part of JUnit 5 framework which provides annotations, assertions, and other features for defining and running test cases and serves as a programming model for writing tests in Java. To add the JUnit Jupiter API in the pom.xml file, copy and paste the following code.

JUnit 5 is a widely used testing framework in the Java ecosystem. It is the successor of JUnit 4 and is designed to address its limitations. JUnit framework allows the developers to write and run the tests for their Java code. These tests help ensure that the code functions correctly and continues to work as expected as changes are made.

JUnit 5 provides a variety of annotations and one such annotation is @BeforeEach. In this article, let us understand about @BeforeEach annotation in JUnit 5.
