public interface Expectation
extends Verifiable

An Expectation is an object that we set up at the beginning of a unit test to expect certain things to happen to it. If it is possible to tell, the Expectation will fail as soon as an incorrect value has been set.

Call verify() at the end of a unit test to check for missing or incomplete values.

If no expectations have been set on the object, then no checking will be done and verify() will do nothing.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	hasExpectations()	Return true if any expectations have been set on this object.

void	setFailOnVerify()	If an incorrect actual value is set, defer reporting this as a failure until verify() is called on this object.

Method Detail

hasExpectations

boolean hasExpectations()

Return true if any expectations have been set on this object.

setExpectNothing

void setExpectNothing()

Tell the object to expect nothing to happen to it, perhaps because the test is exercising the handling of an error. The Expectation will fail if any actual values are set.

Note that this is not the same as not setting any expectations, in which case verify() will do nothing.

setFailOnVerify

void setFailOnVerify()

If an incorrect actual value is set, defer reporting this as a failure until verify() is called on this object.
