Recently I’ve found nice way of writing tests and improving test coverage.

Check this example:

public enum Fields {
	SEARCH_TYPE,
	SEARCH_CITIES,
	SEARCH_DATES,
    ...
    POINT_OF_SALE;

	public Fields[] getValues() {
		return Fields.values();
	}
}

As you can see this is quite common enum. So how to improve test coverage?

Lets write some test! You can ask how to write tests for enums. Here it goes:

public class FieldsTest extends TestCase
{
    public void test()
    {
        for (Fields type : Fields.values())
        {
            assertEquals(type, type);
        }
    }
}

You can do this if you want to sell your source code to some company and show statistics about test coverage. Something like pig in a poke.

PS. Of course it’s a joke. Never ever do this!
