public class ExceptionTestCase
extends TestCase

A TestCase that expects an Exception of class fExpected to be thrown. The other way to check that an expected exception is thrown is:

 try {
   shouldThrow();
 }
 catch (SpecialException e) {
   return;
 }
 fail("Expected SpecialException");

To use ExceptionTestCase, create a TestCase like:

 new ExceptionTestCase("testShouldThrow", SpecialException.class);
