JUnit best practices

Here is an article about what to do and what not to do when developing your JUnit tests. The second item, “Don’t assume the order in which tests within a test case run,” is exactly what we  discussed in our last class and provided sound advice for a Card Game class personal project I have been working on.

I do not fully understand the ramifications of the first item, “Do not use the test-case constructor to set up a test case,” and feel that I may be guilty of doing this very thing. Moving forward, I will look to better understand whether or not this is something I may be doing.
