    }

    @Test
    public void addingMultipleNumbersProducesResult() throws Exception {
        Calculator calculator = new Calculator();

        int answer = calculator.addNumbers(1 ,2, 3);

        assertEquals(6, answer);
    }

    @Test
    public void addingSingleNumberTotalsAppropriately() throws Exception {

  • You need to create a private field Calculator calculator
  • Next, remove the duplicate Calculator initialization in the tests
  • The main point of setUp here is to apply DRY principle
package com.example;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

public class CalculatorTest {
  private Calculator calculator;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
      calculator = new Calculator();
    }

    @Test
    public void addingMultipleNumbersProducesResult() throws Exception {

        int answer = this.calculator.addNumbers(1 ,2, 3);

        assertEquals(6, answer);
    }

    @Test
    public void addingSingleNumberTotalsAppropriately() throws Exception {

        int answer = this.calculator.addNumbers(1);

        assertEquals(1, answer);
    }
}
