Project Pea & Matt Harrah
Three challenges
Beginners – static members:
- Write a class that counts the number of times an instance is created
- You will need a main method that loops a certain number of times creating instances of your class
- Each time an instance is created, print the number of times an instance has been created.
Intermediate – white box testing (download intermediate file)
- Download the Java file from the show notes and write a JUnit test to make sure it works
- Quick hint: It doesn’t work under all situations
Advanced – test driven development (download advanced file)
- Download the interface from the show notes, it tells exactly what the implementation is supposed to do
- Write tests that check to see if your implementation works
- Write the implementation code until your tests all pass
