What is the best practice to determine the execution time of the business relevant code of my junit?

Question

The test execution time which is displayed in eclipse->junit-view depends on the whole test case execution which includes:

• Testdata preperation
• Execut

Answer 1

JUnit 4.12 introduced the Stopwatch @Rule. It is quite straigthforward to use and should become the de facto way of verifying time spent during tests. Here's a sample class showcasing its functionalities:

public static class StopwatchTest {
     private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("");

     private static void logInfo(Description description, String status, long nanos) {
         String testName = description.getMethodName();
         logger.info(String.format("Test %s %s, spent %d microseconds",
                                   testName, status, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMicros(nanos)));
     }

     @Rule
     public Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch() {
         @Override
         protected void succeeded(long nanos, Description description) {
             logInfo(description, "succeeded", nanos);
         }

         @Override
         protected void failed(long nanos, Throwable e, Description description) {
             logInfo(description, "failed", nanos);
         }

         @Override
         protected void skipped(long nanos, AssumptionViolatedException e, Description description) {
             logInfo(description, "skipped", nanos);
         }

         @Override
         protected void finished(long nanos, Description description) {
             logInfo(description, "finished", nanos);
         }
     };

     @Test
     public void succeeds() {
     }

     @Test
     public void fails() {
         fail();
     }

     @Test
     public void skips() {
         assumeTrue(false);
     }

     @Test
     public void performanceTest() throws InterruptedException {
         // An example to assert runtime:
         long delta = 30;
         Thread.sleep(300L);
         assertEquals(300d, stopwatch.runtime(MILLISECONDS), delta);
         Thread.sleep(500L);
         assertEquals(800d, stopwatch.runtime(MILLISECONDS), delta);
     }
}
