What is Java Unit testing, and how do you learn it?

 Unit testing is an idea to test project unit by unit, part by part.

Debugging isn't part of unit testing but part of testing step by step.

Unit tests ideally should cover all corner cases plus some random inputs for each project's unit to check whether it works properly.

JUnit allows to assure that methods return expected results and throw expected exceptions. It's is integrated with Eclipse to make the whole testing process a bit easier. Assert() methods throw an exception marking given test as 'failed' when the result of the tested method is different than expected.



JUnit can be learned any time depending on your requirements. If you are good with the concepts of the language, then you can start with it else try to get deeper understanding of the things.

Fail Fast and Fail Safe Iterator in Java

  The concepts of "fail-safe" and "fail-fast" are often discussed in the context of data structures and algorithms, particularly in Java programming. Let's understand what each concept means: Fail-Safe: Fail-safe refers to the property of a system or data structure that guarantees it will not fail, crash, or produce incorrect results, even when it encounters unexpected inputs or concurrent modifications. In the context of Java collections, a fail-safe iterator is an iterator that does not throw a ConcurrentModificationException if the collection is modified while it's being iterated. Instead, it operates on a copy of the original collection or uses some mechanism to handle concurrent modifications safely. For example, the Iterator returned by HashMap or ConcurrentHashMap in Java is fail-safe. If a collection is modified while an iterator is traversing it, the iterator will continue to operate on the original elements that were present when the iteration ...
