Test log4j2 with JUnit using a custom appender

April 29, 2018 – 6:57 pm

In previous articles, I’ve described how to test System.out with JUnit and how to test log4j with JUnit. This article describes how to test log4j2 logging with JUnit. This largely follows the same technique as testing log4j logging but using the the newer log4j2 APIs. Differences between log4j and log4j2 log4j2 follows a similar design read more »
