JUnit Test

[Yiwei]

What are we supposed to test in the JUnit to earn extra credit on
that? It seems that we have no access to maps and stuffs.
Is that ok to test for the graph algorithms that we used? Or are we
supposed to test for the run method?

Thank you.

Here's my response to a very similar question I was asked via email:

Hm. That's a good question. You're right that the setup we gave you doesn't really lend itself to JUnit testing.

As you've probably realized, in order to have a high-scoring naturalist, you need to capture your own representation of the graph so that you can run algorithms that need global knowledge, e.g., path-finding.  If you make your graph algorithms suitably generic (using type parameters instead of a fixed Node class), you could make individual JUnit tests that test those algorithms on fixed graphs that you create, using your own version of the Node class.

You could also invoke Simulator.main from inside a JUnit test, for example on running on custom maps to make sure the naturalist works on maps with strange topologies.
