You can't directly pass parameters to test methods with JUnit. TestNG allows it, though:

//This method will provide data to any test method that declares that its Data
// Provider is named "test1"
@DataProvider(name = "test1")
public Object[][] createData1() {
 return new Object[][] {
   { "Cedric", new Integer(36) },
   { "Anne", new Integer(37)},
 };
}

//This test method declares that its data should be supplied by the Data Provider
//named "test1"
@Test(dataProvider = "test1")
public void verifyData1(String n1, Integer n2) {
 System.out.println(n1 + " " + n2);
}

will print:

Cedric 36
Anne 37
