Overview:

The Java Swing Side Menu component provides a panel in a Swing application that contains a set of controls that can be opened or closed by a user. The menu takes up the full left or right side of an application. This component will be used to house functionality in the UML Tool that isn't always necessary. The user can choose to collapse the side menu to allow for more space for a diagram being viewed.

This contest will provide a set of unit test cases to properly test the component. The tests scenarios should be based on both the requirements specification of the component, as well as the actual component specification.

Deliverables:

The deliverables should be a full suite of unit tests to properly test the Side Menu component. The design has been completed, and the unit tests should address what is in the design, although the forum clarifications made should also be taken into account. The tests should be comprehensive, similar to what development reviewers would do if they were writing tests for the component, but even more thorough.
The unit tests should be thorough, covering the following areas:

Valid parameters for each method
Invalid parameters for each method
Instantiations with valid constructor values
Instantiations with invalid constructor values
Stress tests for ensuring efficient and correct operation
Overall correct working of the component, based on the requirements specification and the component specification.
