The Special Method 'main'

A Template For 'main'

Here is a pretty common template of what a 'main' method might look like.

You would change "RectangleTests" to your actual class name.

	public static void main(String[] args)  {
		RectangleTests test = new RectangleTests();
		test.testSetSmall();
		test.testSetLarge();
	}

A Basic Test Class

Here is what "main" might look like for a RectangleTests class.

Also see next example.

public class RectangleTests {

	public void testSetSmall() {

	}

	public void testSetLarge() {

	}

	//=======================================

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		RectangleTests test = new RectangleTests();
		test.testSetSmall();
		test.testSetLarge();
	}

}

Another Basic Test Class

Here is what main might look like for a PersonTest class.

public class PersonTests {

	//=======================================
	//Instance Methods

	public void testBasic() {
		//Code to test objects here...
	}

	//=======================================
	//Entry point when we run this class

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		PersonTests personTest = new PersonTests();
		personTest.testBasic();
	}

}
