Multiple Assertions

Definition:

• When a test method contains multiple assertion statements, it is an indication that the method is testing too much

Also Known As:

• Eager Test

Code Example:

public class MyTestCase extends TestCase {
    public void testSomething() {
        // Set up for the test, manipulating local variables
        assertTrue(condition1);
        assertTrue(condition2);
        assertTrue(condition3);
    }
}
