Two months ago I wrote about JExample (see\nSpecifying unit test dependencies with JExample ).\nAt the time, my examples did not include multiple unit test inheritance, but was informed later by @jexample\nthat is possible. I just got time to try it in the Oscar \nproject:

\n\n
@Test public Oscar testConstructor()\nthrows URISyntaxException\n{\n  Oscar oscar = new Oscar();\n  Assert.assertNotNull(oscar);\n  return oscar;\n}\n\n@Given(\"#testConstructor\")\npublic String testNormalize(Oscar oscar)\nthrows URISyntaxException\n{\n  String input = oscar.normalize(\n    \"This is a simple input string with benzene.\"\n  );\n  Assert.assertNotNull(input);\n  return input;\n}\n\n@Given(\"#testConstructor,#testNormalize\")\npublic List testTokenize(\n  Oscar oscar, String input) throws Exception\n{\n  List tokens = oscar.tokenize(input);\n  Assert.assertNotNull(tokens);\n  Assert.assertNotSame(0, tokens.size());\n  return tokens;\n}\n\n@Given(\"#testConstructor,#testTokenize\")\npublic List testRecognizeNamedEntities(\n  Oscar oscar, List tokens)\nthrows Exception\n{\n  List entities =\n    oscar.recognizeNamedEntities(tokens);\n  Assert.assertNotNull(entities);\n  Assert.assertEquals(1, entities.size());\n  return entities;\n}\n
\n\n

The pattern here is that each test method returns one variable, so that any method depending on two\nother unit test will have two parameters. The order is defined by the order in which they are given\nby the @Given clause.
