TODO give more details and show examples

Tests

toString

• check if the toString method is implemented
• integrity check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are contained in the toString result
• check if property exclude is necessary (e.g. property is excluded, but actually handled in the toString method)
• null check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are handled in a null-safe way
• format check to see if the toString result is matching a given pattern

equals

• check if the equals method is implemented
• integrity check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are contained in the equals implementation
• check if property exclude is necessary (e.g. property is excluded, but actually handled in the equals method)
• null check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are handled in a null-safe way
• this check is symmetric, which means it will check if the null-safety counts for this and the given objects properties
• check if the object of the class under test:
• is not equal to null
• is equal to it self
• is symmetric to it self for every changed property

hashCode

• check if the hashCode method is implemented
• integrity check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are contained in the hashCode implementation
• check if property exclude is necessary (e.g. property is excluded, but actually handled in the hashCode method)
• check if the hashCodes for two objects of the class under test are equal when they are equal according to their equals method (hashCode/equals contract)
• null check to see if all properties which have not been excluded are handled in a null-safe way
