Do not let the test stop when it fails.

Question

I am looking for best practice for the following (simplified) scenario:

@Test public void someTest() { for(String someText : someTexts) { Assert.true(checkForValidity(someText)); } } 

This test is repeated through x-thousand texts, and in this case I do not want it to be stopped for every failure. I want the errors to be buffered, and in case of errors (errors) at the end. Did JUnit get anything on board for my purpose?

First of all, this is not the right way to implement this. JUnit allows you to parameterize tests by defining a collection of inputs / outputs with the Parametrized test runner. The implementation of this method ensures that each test case becomes a unique instance in which the test report clearly indicates which samples passed and which failed.

If you still insist on doing it your own way, you should take a look at AssertJ Soft Assertions , which allow you to “swallow” individual statement failures, accumulating them only after the test is completed. The related documentation section uses a good example and is definitely worth a read.
