TestName

public abstract class TestWatcher
extends Object
implements TestRule

TestWatcher is a base class for Rules that take note of the testing action, without modifying it. For example, this class will keep a log of each passing and failing test:

 public static class WatchmanTest {
  private static String watchedLog;

  @Rule
  public TestWatcher watchman= new TestWatcher() {
      @Override
      protected void failed(Throwable e, Description description) {
          watchedLog+= description + "\n";
      }

      @Override
      protected void succeeded(Description description) {
          watchedLog+= description + " " + "success!\n";
         }
     };

  @Test
  public void fails() {
      fail();
  }

  @Test
  public void succeeds() {
     }
 }
