Junit Testing for the enum class

Question

public enum DivisionConstant {
    consumer(1), office(2), production_printing(3);
}

For this enum I wrote a junit test as:

@Test
public void testDivisionConstantFromInt()
{
    DivisionConstant d  = DivisionConstant.fromInt(1);
    assertTrue((d.toName().compareToIgnoreCase("consumer") ==  0));
}

When I execute this it shows only true or false. But I want to know if the test case won't work I want to the reason for the failure of the test

Use something like the hamcrest assertions: `assertThat(d.toName, is("consumer"))`, to get more expressive error messages. — Carl Manaster, Dec 30 '14 at 18:35

This you need to supply yourself

assertTrue("Name was not lexically identical to \"consumer\"", 
       d.toName().compareToIgnoreCase("consumer") ==  0);

you can use custom messages, like this:

assertTrue("Value of d["+d+"] is not equal to consumer", (d.toName().compareToIgnoreCase("consumer") == 0));
