Class Failure

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class Failure
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.io.Serializable
    A Failure holds a description of the failed test and the exception that was thrown while running it. In most cases the Description will be of a single test. However, if problems are encountered while constructing the test (for example, if a BeforeClass method is not static), it may describe something other than a single test.
