How to create a new suit with only selected tests from other suite

[Swapnil Sapar]

Hi,

I have been searching abt this for a while now. Could not find any good answer.
I'm using JUnit 4.8.1 but can go to JUnit 3 if I have too.

Here is my problem:

I have 3 test suites each containing 11, 12, 13 tests in it. CarTestSuite, CycleTestSuite, BoatTestSuite
Now I wish to create a new suite SanityReverseTestSuite containing only 3 tests. These tests are handpicked from the each of the above suites.
I know one I include all 3 suites into one using @Suite.SuiteClasses annotation but it would include *ALL* tests from these suite whereas I'm looking for including only ONE test from each of these suite.
Any tips/suggestions?

class CarTestSuite{
@Before
    public void setUp() {...}

@Test
public void testCarGearUp() {...}

@Test
public void testCarGearDown() {...}

@Test
public void testCarBreak() {...}

....
}

class CycleTestSuite{
@Before
    public void setUp() {...}

@Test
public void testCyclePaddleForward() {...}

@Test
public void testCyclePaddleBackward() {...}

@Test
public void testCycleChainUp() {...}

....
}


class BoatTestSuite{
@Before
    public void setUp() {...}

@Test
public void testBoatLeft() {...}

@Test
public void testBoatRight() {...}

@Test
public void testBoatBack() {...}

....
}
 

class SanityReverseTestSuite{
// include only one test CarTestSuite.testCarGearDown()
// include only one test CycleTestSuite.testCyclePaddleBackward()
// include only one test BoatTestSuite.testBoatBack()
}

Cheers!

In JUnit 3.8, you just need create a suite as shown in the JavaDoc:

TestSuite suite= new TestSuite();
 suite.addTest(new MathTest("testAdd"));
 suite.addTest(new MathTest("testDivideByZero"));

I don't know of a way to do what you want in JUnit 4 other than by extending JUnit itself. It would be easier to refactor the tests to be in different classes though.
