@Test
To denote a method as a test method you use the @Test annotation. The following example demonstrates nearly everything you need to know to get your first test running in Eclipse 2.x - 3.x:
03: import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
07: import org.junit.Test;
14: public class TestVehicle {
26: @Test
27: public void createSimpleVehicle() {The only thing you’d need to add to make this work in Eclipse is a suite method. Adding that, you’d be able to run this class as a JUnit test and it would give you the familiar JUnit execution dialog.

| 7 | This is the import for the @Test annotation. You won’t need to memorize that, simply enter @Test and then ctrl-space and Eclipse will add the import for you. |
| 26 | The @Test annotation applies to the next method. In this case, we’ve said that createSimpleVehicle() is a test method. The JUnit infrastructure will reflectively look at all the methods in a given class. Any method that has the @Test annotation will be added to a test suite for execution. |
| 27 | This line is only interesting in the fact that it is just a regular Java method. It’s not JUnit aware. |
In JUnit prior to 4.0, this would have been written as follows:
14: public class TestVehicle extends TestCase {
27: public void testCreateSimpleVehicle() {
