Clover test detection

Detection of test methods

Clover is able to detect test methods for following test frameworks and code patterns.

JUnit3

Methods with a following signature:

public void test***()

JUnit4

Methods annotated with one of the following:

@junit.org.Test
@Test

Also expected exceptions are understood, e.g.:

@Test(expected={Foo.class})
@Test(expected=Foo.class)

JUnit4+Spring 

Methods annotated with:

@Test
@org.springframework.test.annotation.ExpectedException({Bar.class})

or

@Test
@ExpectedException(value={Bar.class})

TestNG

Methods annotated with one of the following:

@org.testng.annotations.ExpectedExceptions(Foo.class)
@ExpectedExceptions(org.bar.Foo.class)
@org.testng.annotations.Test(expectedExceptions={Foo.class})
@Test(expectedExceptions={Foo.class})
@org.testng.annotations.Test(expectedExceptions=Foo.class)
@Test(expectedExceptions=Foo.class)

JavaDoc tags

TestNG style

/** @testng.test */
class MyTest {
    /** @testng.test */
    void myTestMethod() { }
} 

JUnit style

/** @test */
void myTestMethod() { }

Instinct

Methods annotated with one of the following:

@com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Specification(expectedException=Foo.class)
@Specification(expectedException=Foo.class)

Usage context

These patterns are being used by Clover for per-test coverage, test optimization and reporting.
