Please consider offering answers and suggestions to help other students! And if you fix a problem by following a suggestion here, it would be great if other interested students could see a short "Great, fixed it!" followup message.

Not OP or Arran but I don't think this kind of partitioning is relevant to testing the LightingCommand constructor specifically. Since the LightingCommand constructor takes Location and LightSource objects as parameters, it is a precondition of the constructor that the objects be validly constructed. I feel like partitioning the fields in this way is really testing the constructors for the Location and LightSource objects, rather than the LightingCommand constructor. So I think what OP and Arran have arrived at makes the most sense - one partition with 2 test cases.

Hi Gihad,

Yes, if we're testing some method (or constructor) myMethod that takes in some reference type MyClass, then we can assume that any instances of MyClass are validly constructed – if they aren't, then either there's a bug in the constructor for MyClass (which would be caught in other tests), or a bug in the Java runtime (usually unlikely, but possible).

cheers

Arran
