<h2>Summary of Changes in version 4.8</h2> <h3>Categories</h3> <p>From a given set of test classes, the <code>Categories</code> runner runs only the classes and methods that are annotated with either the category given with the <code>@IncludeCategory</code> annotation, or a subtype of that category. Either classes or interfaces can be used as categories. Subtyping works, so if you say <code>@IncludeCategory(SuperClass.class)</code>, a test marked <code>@Category({SubClass.class})</code> will be run.</p> <p>You can also exclude categories by using the <code>@ExcludeCategory</code> annotation</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>public interface FastTests { /* category marker */ } public interface SlowTests { /* category marker */ } public class A { @Test public void a() { fail(); } @Category(SlowTests.class) @Test public void b() { } } @Category({SlowTests.class, FastTests.class}) public class B { @Test public void c() { } } @RunWith(Categories.class) @IncludeCategory(SlowTests.class) @SuiteClasses( { A.class, B.class }) // Note that Categories is a kind of Suite public class SlowTestSuite { // Will run A.b and B.c, but not A.a } @RunWith(Categories.class) @IncludeCategory(SlowTests.class) @ExcludeCategory(FastTests.class) @SuiteClasses( { A.class, B.class }) // Note that Categories is a kind of Suite public class SlowTestSuite { // Will run A.b, but not A.a or B.c } </code></pre> <h3>Bug fixes</h3> <ul> <li>github#16: thread safety of Result counting</li> </ul>
