IntelliJ: customizing generated test method naming

If I generate a test for a class that assumed a method getId()

, the corresponding test method would be called getId()

.

Is it possible to set IntelliJ to add some static prefix for auto generated test methods?

For example:

getId()

→ shouldGetId()

doStuff()

→ shouldDoStuff()

Go to Preferences > Editor > File and Code Templates

and select JUnit4 Test Method

. This by default has the form

@org.junit.Test
public void test${NAME}() {
  ${BODY}
}

Change to



@org.junit.Test
public void should${NAME}() {
  ${BODY}
}

You can easily change the test method template like this:

Step 1:

Create a test class and press ALTR + Insert on your keyboard and you will see a popup as shown in the following screenshot. Then press the right arrow key on your keyboard and the Edit Template menu opens. Then click on it.

Step 2:



Change the method template as needed and click ( For my reason it will be redirected to TestNG method template, but yours will be JUnit ).

Step 3:

When you insert the method with ALTR + Insert (shown in the first step) click on the Test Method menu, then it will generate the method like this: enter image description here
