Q:

JUnit 4 : Expect one exception multiple times

I have the following piece of code:
@Test(expected = IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void failureTest()    {
    testedObject.supposedToFail("");
    testedObject.supposedToFail(null);
}

When running this, I have no guarantee that I will throw an IllegalArgumentException with a null parameter. Indeed, whenever JUnit meets the first exception, it stops the run of the whole method.
Considering the number of test cases I have to try for this class (~20), I doubt writing 20 methods each expecting a specific exception (which are often the same, tho) would be efficient.
Is there any way to try for every method throwing a specific exception at once ? (e.g. with my sample, you would go through both methods)
Thank you

A:

I would use an auxiliary method and do it this way:
EDIT: This does not work, see alternative working solution
@Rule
public ExpectedException thrown = ExpectedException.none();

@Test
public void myTest() {
    List<Object[]> paramsList = Arrays.asList(
        new Object[] {"", IllegalArgumentException.class},
        new Object[] {null, NullPointerException.class});
    paramsList.forEach(a -> assertExceptionForParam((String)a[0], (Class)a[1]));
}

private void assertExceptionForParam(String param, Class expectedExceptionClass) {
    thrown.expect(expectedExceptionClass);
    testedObject.supposedToFail(param);
}

ALTERNATIVE WORKING SOLUTION, CHANGE AFTER COMMENT BY MIRZAK
My solution seems to actually only test the first case in the list. Here is a working version that will test them all 
@Test
public void myTest() {
    List<Object[]> paramsList = Arrays.asList(
        new Object[] {null, NullPointerException.class},
        new Object[] {"", IllegalArgumentException.class},
        new Object[] {"zip", NullPointerException.class});
    paramsList.forEach(a -> assertExceptionForParam((String)a[0], (Class)a[1]));
}

private void assertExceptionForParam(String param, Class expectedExceptionClass) {
    boolean pass = false;
    try {
        testedObject.supposedToFail(param);
    } catch(Exception e) {
        pass = e.getClass() == expectedExceptionClass;
    }
    Assert.assertTrue("test failed for param:" + param + " and Exception "+expectedExceptionClass, pass);
}

This outputs, as expected: 
java.lang.AssertionError: test failed for param:zip and Exception class java.lang.NullPointerException
