how to handle exceptions in junit

Question

I wrote some test cases to test some method. But some methods throw an exception. Am I doing it correctly?

private void testNumber(String word, int number) {         


        

Answer 1

Remove the try-catch block and add throws Exception to your test method, like:

@Test
public final void testZero() throws Exception {
    assertEquals("zero",  service.convert(0));
}

JUnit expects failing tests will throw Exceptions, your catching them is just stopping JUnit from being able to report them properly. Also this way the expected property on the @Test annotation will work.
