Test The Take Method Second

We can quickly write a unit test for stand-alone behavior of the take method:

 public class TakeAloneTest? extends Test {
    BoundedBuffer buffer;

    public void run(){
        buffer = new BoundedBuffer();
        buffer.buffer[0] = "a";
        buffer.buffer[1] = "b";
        buffer.buffer[2] = "c";
        buffer.buffer[3] = "d";
        buffer.occupied = 4;
        buffer.takeAt = 2;
        should(take() == "c", "first out should be c");
        should(take() == "d", "second out should be d");
        should(buffer.takeAt == 4, "takeAt should be out of bounds now");
        should(take() == "a", "third out should be a");
        should(take() == "b", "fourth out should be b");
        should(buffer.occupied == 0, "The buffer should be empty");
        should(buffer.takeAt == 2, "takeAt should be 2 again");}

    public String take(){
        String taken;
        try {
            taken = (String) buffer.take();}
        catch (InterruptedException exception){
            taken = "";};
        return taken;}
 }

And this runs just fine.

I will need to extend my unit TestFramework? to have a setUp and tearDown like JUnit I think. I seem to understand this half fairly well now. So I must look at how these two behave when in a thread. To do this, I should first extend the TestFramework? to have some facility for identifying when a test is deadlocked.
