Test-Driven Java Development - Second Edition

Test – board boundaries I

We should start by checking whether a piece is placed within the boundaries of the 3x3 board:

public class TicTacToeSpec {
  @Rule
  public ExpectedException exception = ExpectedException.none();
  private TicTacToe ticTacToe;

  @Before
  public final void before() {
    ticTacToe = new TicTacToe();
  }  @Test
  public void whenXOutsideBoardThenRuntimeException() {
    exception.expect(RuntimeException.class);

  }
} 

When a piece is placed anywhere outside the x-axis, then RuntimeException is thrown.

In this test, we are defining that RuntimeException is ...
