Is it possible to name a test suite in JUnit 4? - junit

Question

In JUnit3, one would could name a test suite like this:
public static Test suite() {
TestSuite suite = new TestSuite("Some test collection");
suite.addTestSuite(TestX.class);
return suite;
}
Is there an equivalent way to do this in JUnit4?
Thanks.
EDIT
Thank you, I actually managed to get it working. My question was if there is a JUnit4 equivalent way of specifying the name/description of a test suite, like in JUnit3 with "Some test collection".
Some background:
I'm converting junit tests in legacy code to the version 4, and I don't want to lose any information if possible. I apologize, I should really have been more specific in the original question.

Answer 1

You can do this with the Suite runner #RunWith(Suite.class):
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#SuiteClasses({Test1.class, Test2.class, TestX.class})
public class MySuite {}
Where Test1, Test2, TestX contain your tests
ref. RunWith, Suite
update:
WRT changing the actual description of your suite, I don't think there's a way to do it out-of-the-box (if there is I haven't seen it yet). What you can do, is to define your own runner with a custom description [update2]:
#RunWith(DescribedSuiteRunner.class)
#SuiteClasses({Test1.class, Test2.class, TestX.class})
#SuiteDescription("Some test collection")
public class MySuite {}
public class DescribedSuiteRunner extends Suite {
// forward to Suite
public DescribedSuiteRunner(Class<?> klass, RunnerBuilder builder)
throws InitializationError {
super(klass, builder);
}
#Override
protected String getName() {
return getTestClass()
.getJavaClass()
.getAnnotation(SuiteDescription.class)
.value();
}
}
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public #interface SuiteDescription {
String value();
}
The default implementation of getName just returns the class being tested's name

Answer 2

Yes, In JUnit 3.x, the JUnit methods had to be specifically named. They needed to begin with the word test in order for JUnit to run that as a test case. Now you can just use the #Test annotation:
#Test
public void thisIsMyTest() {
// test goes here
}
Also in JUnit4 you can state if you want some tests to run before or after all the tests in this class are invoked:
#Before
public void init() throws Exception {
System.out.println("Initializing...");
}
#After
public void finish() throws Exception {
System.out.println("Finishing...");
}
Further comparisons between JUnit3 and JUnit4 here and here.
Edit: after blgt's comment, I see I might have misunderstood your intent.
You are probably looking for #RunWith(Suite.class) - When a class is annotated with #RunWith, JUnit will invoke the class in which is annotated so as to run the tests, instead of using the runner built into JUnit. Full example of usage is here, tl;dr below:
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#SuiteClasses({ FirstTest.class, SecondTest.class })
public class AllTests {
...
}
