I’m running JUnit tests on a large code base, and I’ve been realizing that sometimes I get “Errors” while other times I get “Failures”. What’s the difference?

Failures are
when your test cases fail– i.e. your assertions are incorrect.Errors are
when unexpected errors/exceptions occur– i.e. while trying to actually run the test and an unexpected exception is thrown like FileNotFound, etc`.
