Ant script for JUnit

Ant script is build to test the JUnit test framework. Before creating any test case we need Java compiler, Ant and JUnit.
we need junit.jar in your Ant's library folder or have jar file in our project lib folder.

Sample JUnit Test class to fecth records.

import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class EmpTest extends TestCase {

    /**
     * fetch records based on Employee ID from Employee table.
     */
    public final void testFetchByID() {
        Integer empId = 2;
        EmpTO empTO = empDAO.findById(empId);

        System.out.println("Fetch Employee ID " + empId
                + ", FirstName : " + empTO.getFirstName());
    }

}
