Test expected exceptions with JUnit 3 and JUnit 4

With JUnit 4 it is pretty simple to test if an exception has been properly thrown because you can use annotations:

import static org.junit.Assert.fail;
import org.junit.*;
 
public class MyTestClass
{
 
  @Test(expected = NoMatchFoundException.class)
  public void testSomething() throws NoMatchFoundException
  {
    // Your critical code here!
    fail();
  }
}

If you are using JUnit 3 then it is not that easy because you don’t have annotations. That’s why you have to catch exceptions in the test code:

import junit.framework.TestCase;
 
public class MyTestClass extends TestCase
{
  public void testSomething() throws NoMatchFoundException
  {
    try
    {
      // Your critical code here!
    }
    catch (NoMatchFoundException ex)
    {}
  }
}
