JUnit is an open source unit tester for unit testing of Java programs. JUnit test cases show how the functionality for writing and running unit tests are working while the project is still in the development stages. You could also use JUnit test cases in test driven development. If you are using Jazz with the Eclipse platform the JUnit is built in the workbench, otherwise the JUnit will work in a generic set up.

However, when you use the Eclipse platform the JUnit test cases can be created quickly and so can the test suite classes that you write the test code in. This also allows for easy organization and implementation of the test driven development. You will want to create the application for the test first in JUnit test cases. Then you or your tester can design the correspondence between the unit test cases and the application classes.

You will be able to run specific unit test cases in a test suite. This type of testing allows you to verify and validate the software so that a programmer knows if the individual units of a source code are useable. Units are the smallest part that is testable in an application. If you are talking about procedural programming, the unit might be an individual procedure or function.

In JUnit test cases, it is considered ideal when each test case in independent of other test cases. Programmers and developers are generally responsible for the writing of JUnit test cases and they will also run them as well. They want to make sure that the code they designed is met and works like they wanted it to.

JUnit test cases can be run manually or as part of a software testing program. They could also implement a combination of manual and software testing. Using test cases has become an integral part of software development. The main benefit of using test cases is to isolate every piece of the program to ensure that they are working properly. A unit test is written so that the code pieces must work in the way it was intended.
