In the first example we’re going to use the constructor approach. Each set of data (table in the collection) consists of three values: a, b, and result. JUnit will instantiate MinimalNumberFinderTest as many times as there the collection size – 3 in this case – and will pass through the constructor appropriate values. We assign them to fields and use in the test.
Note that name attribute of @Parameters annotation is optional and is used to set readable test name – strongly encouraged! :-)

package com.farenda.junit;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.junit.runners.Parameterized;
import org.junit.runners.Parameterized.Parameters;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class MinimalNumberFinderTest {

    // with "name" to have readable test name
    @Parameters(name = "minimum of {0} and {1} is {2}")
    public static Collection<Object[]> prepareTestData() {
        return Arrays.asList(new Integer[][] {
                // a, b, result
                {1,   2,  1},
                {23, 12, 12},
                {-7, -9, -9}
        });
    }

    private int a;
    private int b;
    private int result;

    public MinimalNumberFinderTest(int a, int b, int result) {
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
        this.result = result;
    }

    @Test
    public void shouldFindMinValue() {
        assertThat(Math.min(a, b), equalTo(result));
    }
}

In the next example we use @Parameter annotation instead of test class constructor. As in the previous example JUnit will instantiate the test class as many times as the size of dataset collection, but instead of passing the data through the constructor it will set annotated fields. Note that the fields must be public and annotation takes table index as parameter to inject correct value from dataset – we’ve skipped the parameter for the first field, because the default value is 0 anyway.

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class MaximumNumberFinderTest {

    @Parameters(name = "maximum of {0} and {1} is {2}")
    public static Collection<Object[]> prepareTestData() {
        return Arrays.asList(new Integer[][] {
              // a,   b,  result
                {1,   2,  2},
                {23, 12, 23},
                {-7, -9, -7}
        });
    }

    @Parameter
    public int a;

    @Parameter(1)
    public int b;

    @Parameter(2)
    public int result;

    @Test
    public void shouldFindMaxValue() {
        assertThat(Math.max(a, b), equalTo(result));
    }
}

In the following test from Spring WebSockets you can see that JUnit Parameterized Tests are not constrained only to numbers, as can be seen in many simple examples, but to any objects:
