equalsverifier 4.5.2-1

Package Information

DescriptionJava library to test equals() and hashCode() contracts

EqualsVerifier verifies, in a single line of test code, that the contract between the equals() and hashCode() methods of a class is respected. It is designed to be called from a JUnit test.

It checks every rule of the contract, including the ones that are easily overlooked: reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity, consistency and the handling of null, but also the mistakes that tend to go unnoticed until they cause a bug in production, such as forgetting to override hashCode(), using getClass() instead of instanceof, taking mutable or transient fields into account, and breaking the contract in a subclass.
