java - Grouping JUnit tests

Question

Is there any way to group tests in JUnit, so that I can run only some groups?

Or is it possible to annotate some tests and then globally disable them?

I'm using JUnit 4, I can't use TestNG.

edit: @RunWith and @SuiteClasses works great. But is it possible to annotate like this only some tests in test class? Or do I have to annotate whole test class?

Answer 1

JUnit 4.8 supports grouping:

public interface SlowTests {}
public interface IntegrationTests extends SlowTests {}
public interface PerformanceTests extends SlowTests {}

And then...

public class AccountTest {

    @Test
    @Category(IntegrationTests.class)
    public void thisTestWillTakeSomeTime() {
        ...
    }

    @Test
    @Category(IntegrationTests.class)
    public void thisTestWillTakeEvenLonger() {
        ...
    }

    @Test
    public void thisOneIsRealFast() {
        ...
    }
}

And lastly,

@RunWith(Categories.class)
@ExcludeCategory(SlowTests.class)
@SuiteClasses( { AccountTest.class, ClientTest.class })
public class UnitTestSuite {}

Also, Arquillian itself supports grouping: https://github.com/weld/core/blob/master/tests-arquillian/src/test/java/org/jboss/weld/tests/Categories.java
