Java Unit Testing in Java What to Test Test the running total

Can someone help on JUnit testing where total sales increment after a sale?

I originally thought that if I set amounts for the price of the item being sold and the amount of the pre-existing amount. I could then assertEquals with that and the actual method but I can't seem to get it right. Please help.

You can't refer to an object's fields without referring to the object itself first. Also, these fields are private so you can't access them directly. You'll need to use the provided getters/setters and other methods for this.

Try to think of this in terms of the 3 A's (arrange/act/assert). Arrange: machine is set up, we put money in the machine. Act: we get a twinkie (hint: through the machine's keypad). Assert: check that the running total is what we expect it should be.
