What are the benefits of using Junit testing framework

Answer 1

Hi Prakhar, some of the benefits of using JUnit testing framework are:

• JUnit ensures that every single part or functioning in your software is tested even before module or System level testing is performed.

• Every time you make a small or a big modification in the code (in any function), you can make sure that the function is performing well and has not broken any older functionality by executing all JUnit test cases in one go written for that function. 

• Easily create and most importantly manage a rich unit test case suite for the entire software.

• JUnit has become a standard for testing in Java programming language and is supported by almost all IDE’s e.g Netbeans, Eclipse etc. So, you work in any standarized IDE environment, you would find the support of JUnit in it.

• You can also integrate Ant with JUnit to allow executing test suites (all unit test cases) as part of the build process, capturing their output, and generating rich color enhanced reports.
