Testing the Tableau: Adding Cards

If you're not so 0:00 sure you implemented something correctly, it's always a good idea to add some tests. 0:00 Let's add tests to our tabloid pile class to let us know if our addCards and 0:05 removeCards functions are working like we want them to. 0:09 And before I get to that, I want to make sure that this is the addCards function. 0:13 Okay, now let's start by first creating a test folder for our project. 0:19 First, create just a regular directory named Test in the root of your project. 0:23 Then open the project structure window, file, project structure, 0:31 and on the Modules tab, select your test folder and mark it as Tests. 0:38 Then hit OK and now we've got a spot for our tests. 0:46 Next up, let's create the tests. 0:50 Click somewhere in your Tableau pile class and then use Command or 0:53 CTRL+SHIFT+T and hit Enter to create a new test. 0:57 Then for the testing library, make sure you've selected JUnit4 and for 1:02 the members, let's pick addCards and removeCards. 1:07 Also if you have something up here that says fix, just click on it and 1:12 pick the intellijay distribution. 1:17 Then hit OK, and now it's testing time. 1:19 Remember for each test, we need to do three things. 1:22 We need to arrange the objects we need, act on those objects, and 1:26 then assert that we got the right result. 1:31 So let's start by adding in these steps as comments. 1:33 You can find them in the teacher's notes below as well. 1:36 All right, let's take it from the top with the addCcards function. 1:45 To test that our addCards function is working, we're going to need one Tableau 1:49 pile and one mutable list of cards to add to that Tableau pile. 1:53 So in the Arrange section, let's start by creating a new Tableau pile. 1:58 val tableauPile 2:01 = TableauPile. 2:06 And then let's initialize our Tableau pile to contain only the King of spades, 2:11 mutable list of card with a value of 12 for King and then spades. 2:16 On the next line, let's create a new variable for 2:23 the cards we're going to add to our Tableau pile. 2:26 Val cards and let's set this equal to a list of 2:30 one of the cards that would come after this one, or choose the Queen of hearts. 2:34 So mutable list of and 2:39 then the Queen of hearts, which has a value of 11 and a suit of hearts. 2:42 Moving on to the act section, 2:47 let's try adding that cards list to our Tableau pile. 2:49 tableuPile.addCards and pass in our cards list. 2:52 And finally in the assert section, let's check that our Tableau has the right 2:58 number of cards which sends red Queen does match with the black King is two. 3:02 So assertEquals 2 for the expected value and for 3:09 the actual value, tableauPile.cards.size. 3:14 Then let's hit the Run button next to our test. 3:19 And it looks like the addCards function works, well, at least for those two cards. 3:27 Anyhow in the next video, we'll continue the quest for 3:33 testing with our removeCards function. 3:36
