JUnit is a Java-based open-source testing framework designed to write and run repeatable tests.
At the core of unit testing lies the idea of breaking down the business logic of the system under test into smaller, testable units. A unit is usually a method, function, or a class. In the context of object-oriented programming, a unit is often an individual method of a class. A unit test is a method that invokes the unit under test and checks the results. The main goal of unit testing is to validate that each unit of the software performs as designed. The ultimate goal of unit testing is to reduce software defects by detecting a maximum of defects at the unit level itself.
