In this course, you will learn how to write a unit test for Java applications using JUnit. You'll start by covering unit-testing foundations, which provide you with a starter set of information about writing basic tests in JUnit. You’ll learn about JUnit organization and assertions, and you’ll pick up a few core quality practices for unit testing such as the Right BICEP and the CORRECT way. 

Towards the end, the bigger design picture focuses on the relevance of design to unit testing and vice versa. You’ll refactor your tests, and you’ll learn how to use mock objects to deal with trouble-some dependencies.

Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java 8 with JUnit

# Scenario: Profile's multiple answers
A profile can contain many answers, which  the test tackles in this scenario. Here is the code for 
`ProfileTest`: 
```java
@Test
   public void matchesWhenContainsMultipleAnswers() {
      profile.add(answerThereIsRelocation);
      profile.add(answerDoesNotReimburseTuition);
      Criterion criterion = 
            new Criterion(answerThereIsRelocation, Weight.Important);
      
      boolean result = profile.matches(criterion);
      
      assertTrue(result);
   }
```
# Tackling strategy
Having multiple `Answers` in the `Profile` requires a way to store and distinguish them. 

>In this scenario, we have chosen to store the `Answers` in a `Map` (line 2) where the key is the `question` text and the value is the associated `Answer`.

It’d probably be better to use an `Answer` ID as the key, but Answer has no such thing yet.

Learn how to modify the classes and tests to support multiple answers.
