Test Classes and TimexTestCase

*Test Classes and TimexTestCase

Most of our earlier *Test classes looked something like the following code snippet from our original TimesheetManagerTest class:

public class TimesheetManagerTest extends TestCase {     TimesheetManager timesheetManager = new TimesheetManager();     public static void main(String args[])

Now, instead of extending the JUnit TestCase class directly, we extend the TimexTestCase class (in the timex2/ directory), as shown next:

public class TimesheetManagerTest extends TimexTestCase {     public static void main(String args[])

The benefit of this approach is that we can put all the fixture code in a parent class (such as TimexTestCase), so the test subclasses can focus on the unit tests versus fixture code (visit junit.org for details on fixture code).
