Testing for multiple exceptions with JUnit 4 annotations

Question

Is it possible to test for multiple exceptions in a single JUnit unit test? I know for a single exception one can use, for example

    @Test(expected=Illega         


        

Answer 1

Keep the tests as simple and short as possible. The intention of a JUnit-Test is to test only one simple functionality or one single way of failure.

Indeed, to be safe, you should create at least one test for every possible execution way.

Normally, this is not always possible because if you have a method that analyses a string, there are so many possible string combinations that you cannot cover everything.

Keep it short and simple.

You can have 30-40 testing methods for one single method easily... does it really matter?
