Unit Test Equals Method that covers both the branches in Java

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I have been trying to get my head around unit testing equals method in java to cover all branches. There is one branch missing. I tried to look up couple of resources, but was not very helpful. Here is my code which I am trying to unit test it.

public boolean isValid(Item item) {

    return !StringUtils.isEmpty(item.getCat()) &&        //both branches covered
            !StringUtils.isEmpty(item.getDog()) &&   //both branches covered
            !StringUtils.isEmpty(item.getDogCat()) &&       //both branches covered
            (String.format("%s|%s", item.getDog(), item.getCat())  //here one branch missing
                    .equals(item.getDogCat());
}

Unit Test:

    boolean expectedValue = false;

    private static final Item ITEM_4 = 
      Item.builder()
            .dogCat("bow|meow")
            .dog("bow")
            .cat("meow")
            .build();


    @Test
    public void testIsValidWhenCatIsNull() {
        boolean actualValue = itemValidator.isValid(ITEM_1);
        Assert.assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);
    }

    @Test
    public void testIsValidWhenDogIsNull() {
        boolean actualValue = itemValidator.isValid(ITEM_2);
        Assert.assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);
    }

    @Test
    public void testIsValidWhenDogCatIsNull() {
        boolean actualValue = itemValidator.isValid(ITEM_3);
        Assert.assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);
    }

    @Test
    public void testIfDogCatMatchesConcatenatedDogCat() {
        itemValidator.isValid(ITEM_4);
        Assert.assertEquals(String.format("%s|%s" ,"bow", "meow"), ("bow|meow"));
    }

    @Test
    public void testIfDogCatDoesNotMatchesConcatenatedDogCat() {
        itemValidator.isValid(ITEM_4);
        Assert.assertNotEquals(String.format("%s|%s", 
                                                

                                                                                                        
                                                    
                                                
                                                

                                                    

                                                        
                                                            0
                                                            views 

                                                            0
                                                                likes 
                                                            
                                                            

                                                            0
                                                            shares
