Unit testing


Unit tests can be written as in any Scala project. For example, suppose we have a utility method isNumberInRange that takes a string and checks if it's a number in the range [0,3600]. It is defined as follows:

def isNumberInRange(x:String):Boolean = {
    val mayBeNumber = Try{x.toDouble}
    mayBeNumber match{
      case Success(n) => if(n>=0 && n<=3600) true else false
      case Failure(e) => false
    }
  }

Let's write a unit test to check this function using Specs2:

class UtilSpec extends Specification {

    "range method" should {

    "fail for Character String" in {
      Util.isNumberInRange("xyz") should beFalse
    }

    "fail for Java null" in {
      Util.isNumberInRange(null) should beFalse
    }

    "fail for Negative numbers" in {
      Util.isNumberInRange("-2") should beFalse
    }

    "pass for valid number" in {
      Util.isNumberInRange("1247") should beTrue
    }

    "pass for 0" in {
      Util.isNumberInRange("0") should beTrue...
