Iterating over subdirectories and dealing with files within them

Hello, I am working on a coding project for a class and to test the program I have created, I have come up with 100 different test cases. The program takes four text files as input, so each of the test cases is contained in a folder with four files.

I have a folder called 'tests', within which there are 100 folders each representing a test case. Each of these subdirectories contains four input files as stated above.

In order to automate the testing, I would like to create a script in bash that does the following:

Code:
for each folder in tests
	print name of folder
	enter folder 
        run java file using the names of the files in the folder as arguments
		print any messages the java program produces to the console
	print name and contents of each file in the folder

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
