实际上，您可以模拟或排除该系统。exit方法，在JUnit测试中。

例如，使用JMockit你可以这样写(也有其他方法):

@Test
public void mockSystemExit(@Mocked("exit") System mockSystem)
{
    // Called by code under test:
    System.exit(); // will not exit the program
}

编辑:替代测试(使用最新的JMockit API)，它不允许任何代码在调用System.exit(n)后运行:

@Test(expected = EOFException.class)
public void checkingForSystemExitWhileNotAllowingCodeToContinueToRun() {
    new Expectations(System.class) {{ System.exit(anyInt); result = new EOFException(); }};

    // From the code under test:
    System.exit(1);
    System.out.println("This will never run (and not exit either)");
}

我喜欢已经给出的一些答案，但我想演示一种不同的技术，这种技术在测试遗留代码时通常很有用。给出如下代码:

public class Foo {
  public void bar(int i) {
    if (i < 0) {
      System.exit(i);
    }
  }
}

您可以进行安全重构来创建包装系统的方法。退出电话:

public class Foo {
  public void bar(int i) {
    if (i < 0) {
      exit(i);
    }
  }

  void exit(int i) {
    System.exit(i);
  }
}

然后你可以为你的测试创建一个覆盖exit的假的:

public class TestFoo extends TestCase {

  public void testShouldExitWithNegativeNumbers() {
    TestFoo foo = new TestFoo();
    foo.bar(-1);
    assertTrue(foo.exitCalled);
    assertEquals(-1, foo.exitValue);
  }

  private class TestFoo extends Foo {
    boolean exitCalled;
    int exitValue;
    void exit(int i) {
      exitCalled = true;
      exitValue = i;
    }
}

这是一种用行为代替测试用例的通用技术，我在重构遗留代码时一直使用它。这通常不是我要留下东西的地方，而是测试现有代码的中间步骤。

你可以用替换Runtime实例来测试System.exit(..)。 例如，使用TestNG + Mockito:

public class ConsoleTest {
    /** Original runtime. */
    private Runtime originalRuntime;

    /** Mocked runtime. */
    private Runtime spyRuntime;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() {
        originalRuntime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        spyRuntime = spy(originalRuntime);

        // Replace original runtime with a spy (via reflection).
        Utils.setField(Runtime.class, "currentRuntime", spyRuntime);
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void tearDown() {
        // Recover original runtime.
        Utils.setField(Runtime.class, "currentRuntime", originalRuntime);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSystemExit() {
        // Or anything you want as an answer.
        doNothing().when(spyRuntime).exit(anyInt());

        System.exit(1);

        verify(spyRuntime).exit(1);
    }
}

标准库System Lambda有一个方法catchSystemExit。使用这个规则，你可以测试调用System.exit(…)的代码:

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void systemExitWithArbitraryStatusCode() {
        SystemLambda.catchSystemExit(() -> {
            //the code under test, which calls System.exit(...);
        });
    }


    @Test
    public void systemExitWithSelectedStatusCode0() {
        int status = SystemLambda.catchSystemExit(() -> {
            //the code under test, which calls System.exit(0);
        });

        assertEquals(0, status);
    }
}

对于Java 5到7，库System Rules有一个叫做ExpectedSystemExit的JUnit规则。使用这个规则，你可以测试调用System.exit(…)的代码:

public class MyTest {
    @Rule
    public final ExpectedSystemExit exit = ExpectedSystemExit.none();

    @Test
    public void systemExitWithArbitraryStatusCode() {
        exit.expectSystemExit();
        //the code under test, which calls System.exit(...);
    }

    @Test
    public void systemExitWithSelectedStatusCode0() {
        exit.expectSystemExitWithStatus(0);
        //the code under test, which calls System.exit(0);
    }
}

Another technique here is to introduce additional code into the (hopefully small number of) places where the logic does the System.exit(). This additional code then avoids doing the System.exit() when the logic is being called as part of unit test. For example, define a package private constant like TEST_MODE which is normally false. Then have the unit test code set this true and add logic to the code under test to check for that case and bypass the System.exit call and instead throw an exception that the unit test logic can catch. By the way, in 2021 and using something like spotbugs, this problem can manifest itself in the obscure error that "java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host".

可以用于单元和集成测试的一种通常有用的方法是，提供一个包私有(默认访问)可嘲弄的运行器类，该类提供run()和exit()方法。这些方法可以被测试模块中的Mock或Fake测试类覆盖。

测试类(JUnit或其他)提供了exit()方法可以抛出的异常来代替System.exit()。

package mainmocked;
class MainRunner {
    void run(final String[] args) {
        new MainMocked().run(args);    
    }
    void exit(final int status) {
        System.exit(status);
    }
}

下面带有main()的类，在单元或集成测试时，也有一个altMain()来接收模拟或假运行器:

package mainmocked;

public class MainMocked {
    private static MainRunner runner = new MainRunner();

    static void altMain(final String[] args, final MainRunner inRunner) {
        runner = inRunner;
        main(args);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
          runner.run(args);
        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Log("error: ", ex);
            runner.exit(1);
        }
        runner.exit(0);
    } // main


    public void run(String[] args) {
        // do things ...
    }
} // class

一个简单的mock(使用Mockito)将是:

@Test
public void testAltMain() {
    String[] args0 = {};
    MainRunner mockRunner = mock(MainRunner.class);
    MainMocked.altMain(args0, mockRunner);

    verify(mockRunner).run(args0);
    verify(mockRunner).exit(0);
  }

一个更复杂的测试类将使用一个Fake，其中run()可以做任何事情，并使用一个Exception类来替代System.exit():

private class FakeRunnerRuns extends MainRunner {
    @Override
    void run(String[] args){
        new MainMocked().run(args);
    }
    @Override
    void exit(final int status) {
        if (status == 0) {
            throw new MyMockExitExceptionOK("exit(0) success");
        }
        else {
            throw new MyMockExitExceptionFail("Unexpected Exception");
        } // ok
    } // exit
} // class
