Ever included Mockito in your project and lost the nice feedback from Hamcrest?
And only when running your unit tests from IntelliJ IDEA? Instead of a message describing what
you should fix, you see java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hamcrest.Matcher.describeMismatch
I have. More than once and been very frustrated. These are tools I like. Not getting good messages upsets me.

Writing unit tests that test almost the same thing may introduce duplication. A solution could be to create parameters that should be varied in a list and iterate over it. Yet another solution is to create a parametrised test. Let us look at an example where these three options are explored.

Measuring the test coverage is something many people think is a good idea. But is it a good idea? It depends on the quality of the tests. Test coverage may be a good measurement if the tests are good. But suppose that we have a high degree of test coverage and bad tests?
I will show two examples of how to get a 100% test coverage using Cobertura. They will be based on a set of good tests and a set of bad tests.
Test coverage is calculated by recording which lines of code that has been executed. If the code has been executed through a test in a testing framework then we have calculated the test coverage.
The calculation is done using these steps:
We will be able to say that 47% of the lines in the source code has been executed. If the execution is done through test code, this will give us a measurement of the test coverage.

We want to run the same test more than once and only vary the parameters. The solution is to use JUnit and run our tests with the Parameterized JUnit runner.
