  2. What is a Test Class? • Class used only for the purpose of testing out the methods of another class. • Has only one method – main() • Like World.myfirstmethod() in Alice

  3. Test class for BankAccount class public class TestBankAccount { public static void main() { //create objects and test them here } }

  4. 4 parts to creating and testing objects: Part one Declare (announce) an object reference variable BankAccount JohnsAccount;

  5. 4 steps to creating and testing objects: Part two Create an object by calling one of the constructors using the new command. The constructor puts starting values into the private fields of the new object. new BankAccount(500.0);

  6. 4 parts to creating and testing objects: Part three Store the memory address of the object created by the constructor in the object reference variable from step one. JohnsAccount = new BankAccount(500.0);
