Expecting Exceptions Anywhere
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Tests that do not track the step that raised the expected exception and pass


**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: java

  @Test(expected=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
      public void testMyList() {
        MyList<Integer> list = new MyList<Integer>();
        list.add(1);
        list.add(2);
        list.add(3);
        list.add(3);
        list.add(4);
        assertTrue(4 == list.get(4));
        assertTrue(2 == list.get(1));
        assertTrue(3 == list.get(2));
        list.get(6);
    }
    @Test(expected=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
      public void testNegative() {
        MyList<Integer> list = new MyList<Integer>();
        list.add(1);
        list.add(2);
        list.add(3);
        list.add(3);
        list.add(4);
        list.get(-1);
    }
  }
