I'm not asking to change it, but I think using TestNG might have given a simpler result with less work. For example, there could be one `DataProvider` supplying inputs which feed a `@Test` which expects an NPE, and another `DataProvider` supplying input-output pairs which feeds a `@Test` which validates the functionality. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4263
