Self-testing code
Self-testing code is software that incorporates built-in tests (see test-first development).[1][2]
In Java, to execute a unit test from the command line, a class can have methods like the following.
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
// Executing main runs the unit test.
public static void main(String[] args) {
test();
}
static void test() {
assert foo == bar;
} </syntaxhighlight> To invoke a full system test, a class can incorporate a method call. <syntaxhighlight lang="java"> public static void main(String[] args) {
test(); TestSuite.test(); // invokes full system test
} </syntaxhighlight>In addition, Java has some Jupiter API libraries for self-testing code. assert can be used in various ways such as assert equals, which checks if the given variable is equal to the value given.<syntaxhighlight lang="java"> @Test void checkplayer() {
Board board = new Board(10);
board.addplayer(1);
int check = board.getCurrentPlayer(1);
assertEquals(1, check);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
