File structure
IntelliJ IDEA allows you to view and navigate the structure of a file in the Structure tool window and the Structure popup.
You can see the VCS status colors in the Structure tool window and the Structure popup if your project is under version control. It helps you track changes in files. The names of modified objects become blue, and the names of the newly added objects appear highlighted in green.
Hover over icons in Structure to get additional information in tooltips about the items. For example, you can learn whether methods 
are static.
Structure popup
The popup provides less information than the tool window, but it allows you to navigate the structure faster due to the Narrow down on typing option.
Open a file in the editor and press Ctrl+F12, or go to in the main menu.
In the popup, start typing the name of the element that you want to find. The IDE will narrow down the search results as you type.
You can also use CamelHumps, that is, for example, you can type
dsuto matchDoSomethingUseful.You can additionally narrow down your search results by using the checkboxes in the popup. To change the sorting, click
and select the necessary option.Press Enter or click an item to close the popup and navigate to the selected element in the editor.

The Structure tool window allows you to run and debug your code.
Right-click a runnable method in the Structure tool window and select
Run 'method name' (Ctrl+Shift+F10) or 
Debug 'method name' (⌃ ⇧ D).

In the Structure tool window, right-click one or several test methods and select
Run 'method name' (Ctrl+Shift+F10).
The tool window allows you to add test methods to an existing run configuration (for JUnit and TestNG tests) in which the test scope is specified by means of a pattern. You can add methods from several different classes creating a test suite.
Right-click a method in the Structure tool window and select:
Add to temp suite: <Configuration_name> if there is only one configuration with the Pattern test scope.
Add to JUnit Pattern Suite (JUnit) / Add to Temp Suite (TestNG) if there are several configurations with the Pattern test scope. In this case, a popup appears in which you can select the target configuration.
