/**
 * Automates JUnit testing of simple getter / setter methods.
 *
 * <p>
 * This class was modeled after the {@link EqualsVerifier} approach where in a
 * few lines of code, you can test the entirety of a simple Java object.  For
 * example:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * GetterSetterVerifier.forClass(MyClass.class)
 *      .verify();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * You can also specify which properties you do no want to test in the event
 * that the associated getters and setters are non-trivial.  For example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * GetterSetterVerifier.forClass(MyClass.class)
 *      .exclude("someComplexProperty")
 *      .exclude("anotherComplexProperty")
 *      .verify();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * On the other hand, if you'd rather be more verbose about what properties are
 * tested, you can specify them using the include syntax.  When using the
 * include approach, only the properties that you specified will be tested.
 * For example:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * GetterSetterVerifier.forClass(MyClass.class)
 *      .include("someSimpleProperty")
 *      .include("anotherSimpleProperty")
 *      .verify();
 * </pre>

You did a good job!

Good idea but would be better if the value being set for the property under test was not the default value for that type of property. Given a class as follows...

public class Person {
    private String name;
    public String getName() { return null; }
    public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
}

... your GetterSetterVerifier class deems the Person class to have a valid getter and setter.

I am new to JUnit, may I know how to run this ? I don't see any method annotated with @test. Kindly revert !

@rohit0903
Always read the docs ;-)
GetterSetterVerifier.forClass(MyClass.class).verify();

So

public class MyClassTest {
    // will fail if your getter/setters don't work
    @Test
    public void getterSetterTest() {
       GetterSetterVerifier.forClass(MyClass.class).verify();
    }
    // other tests as needed
}

I'm sorry, I'm also new to JUnit, should I creat this class in a test directory?
