JUnit framework: An interactive approach for basic unit testing learning in Software Engineering

Abstract

Based on Software Engineering discipline, unit testing play significant rule in testing procedure to determine if the source code fit for use. A unit test is the smallest testable part of an application. In basic learning of unit testing, JUnit framework with interactive GUI techniques as suitable tools in supporting students learning in higher learning institutes. In this paper, it presents the method to create unit testing code and how JUnit can give good experience in unit testing learning in software engineering. The result shows by using JUnit framework in unit testing learning can improve student interest and understanding in software engineering courses.
