class ChessHorseOneTest
extends Object

Test Suite for ChessHorseOne

Validates the early-exit backtracking algorithm for the Knight's Tour problem. Employs assertions to verify the presence or absence of a valid path based on varying initial topological conditions.

Method Details

setup

@BeforeAll
static void setup()

Initializes context and resources prior to executing the test suite.

teardown

@AfterAll
static void teardown()

Cleans up resources after the entire test suite has finished execution.

shouldLocateSolutionOnStandard5x5Board

@Test
void shouldLocateSolutionOnStandard5x5Board()

Scenario: Standard 5x5 board starting at the top-left corner.

Expected Outcome: The algorithm must quickly locate a valid topological path and return true without exploring the entire state space.

shouldNotFindSolutionFromDeadEndStartingPosition

@Test
void shouldNotFindSolutionFromDeadEndStartingPosition()

Scenario: 5x5 board starting at an edge coordinate (1,4).

Expected Outcome: Due to mathematical constraints, a knight cannot complete a full tour from this specific starting point. The algorithm must exhaust the feasible state space and correctly return false.
