Unit Tests

Let's add a unit test for the length method.

@Test
void length() {
  IndexedList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayIndexedList<>(5, 10);
  assertEquals(5, numbers.length());
}

In the test above, I've created an IndexedList with a size of 5 and a default value of 10. Then, I asserted the length() method returns the value 5, the size which was provided earlier.

Notes:

• IndexedList cannot be instantiated (because it is an interface) so we must use a concrete implementation of it (e.g. ArrayIndexedList). Therefore, the test is actually testing an implementation of length.

• assertEquals is one of the many utility methods provided by JUnit. It ensures its two arguments are equal. If not, it will signal to "fail" the test. To use assertEquals you must import it:

  import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
