BeforeEach: Alerting

As the complexity of your project grows, tests may require longer and longer setup. Anticipating this, you revisit the DurationMonitorTest and use the new annotations to extract some of the test setup in a setup() method.

Use @BeforeEach to make the setup execute before each test.

Exercise instructions

  • Annotate the setup() method with the correct annotation.
  • Write down the necessary setup inside: AlertService is a mock, DurationMonitor takes in that mock.

    }
}

class DurationMonitorTest {
	private AlertService alertService;
	private DurationMonitor monitor;
    
    // Use the correct annotation to make this method execute before every test
    @____
    void setUp() {
    	// Set up the mock alertService and the monitor as you did in the earlier exercise
    	this.alertService = ____;
        this.monitor = ____;
    }
    
    @Test
    void recordDuration_triggersAlert_whenAboveLimit() {
        this.monitor.recordDuration(1500);
        verify(this.alertService).trigger("Slow execution detected: 1500ms");
    }

    @Test

    public void recordDuration(long durationMillis) {
        if (durationMillis > 1000) {
            alertService.trigger("Slow execution detected: " + durationMillis + "ms");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Execution completed in " + durationMillis + "ms");
