Implementing a sample application

Testing the sample application with JUnit

Following JUnit best practices

So far, we've made a JU nit survey and shown how to use it (chapter 1). We also
looked at JU nit internals, what the core classes and methods are, and how they
interact with each other (chapter 2).
We now dive deeper by introducing a real-life component and testing it. In this
chapter, we implement a small application using the Controller design pattern. We
then test every part of the application using JU nit. We also look at JU nit best prac-
tices when writing and organizing your tests.
