In IntelliJ IDEA, you can quickly navigate between a test and the test subject.

For more information on common testing procedures, see Run tests.

Jump from a test to its test subject

  1. Open a test class in the editor.

  2. From the main menu or the editor context menu, select Navigate | Test Subject. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+T.

    The test subject for the current test class opens in the dedicated tab of the editor and gets the focus.
