Question

I have a JUnit test that I would like to run from a main method. I would like to retrieve multiple records from a database (within the main method) and pass each record into the JUnit, using a data object, so that each record can be tested. Can I pass a data object into the run method of JUnit. If not what is the best way to accomplish this. There are so many different scenarios that I would like to use actual data from the database. There could be as many as 5000 or more records to test.

Thanks
Doug

Surely you are looking for Parameterized test case. You can do it easily by using JUnit instead of using main() method.

You need Parameterized to run your test.

It will run your test with different parameters by passing parameters via constructor.

Here is an easy article how to do that. You can also try the example in the documentation also, to understand how it works.
