This blog post explains how to separate integration and unit tests with Maven, Sonar, Failsafe and JaCoCo. This is achieved by executing unit tests via Surefire and integration tests via Failsafe. Then you show as much information about them as possible in Sonar. The post provides detailed command lines and Maven configuration files to achieve this goal.
This blog post discusses how to apply a Test-driven Development (TDD) approach to non-functional requirements like performance. He proposes examples on how to test performance with time and memory constraints. He suggests that it is possible to extend this approach to performance, scalability, portability, maintainability and even more abstracts requirements like usability, accessibility.
This blog post presents the Q&A of the “Application Testing in the Cloud Made Easy” session of the Oracle Enterprise Management Forum. It presents the last evolutions in Oracle Application Testing Suite which includes Oracle Functional Testing, Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test Manager.
James A. Whittaker, the former Test Director for Chrome and Chrome OS, discusses in this article what it means to be a Google tester and how Google testers approach the problems of scale, complexity and mass usage.
Continuous delivery is a software development strategy that optimizes the delivery process to get software delivered as quickly as possible. This blog by Eli Weinstock-Herman explains how to integrate the load testing stage in a continuous delivery process. It presents a detail step-by-step process on how to incorporate the load testing scripts into the Jenkins open source continuous integration tool as a new build step in the delivery pipeline. This step will run the load test and capture the results.
The open source JUnit unit testing tool has been a blessing for Java developers. However, many programmers think that it is enough to learn the JUnit API and write a few tests in order to have a well-tested application. This idea is more dangerous than not doing unit tests because it leads to a wrong sense of code quality. Learning JUnit is the easiest part of unit testing your Java code, but writing good tests is the hard part.
Codeception is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing PHP framework. It aims to provide an original way to write acceptance, functional and unit tests. It uses a scenario approach where you declare what you are doing and what results you expect from your tests. The first post introduces the tool and explains how to write tests with Codeception. A second post digs deeper into the code and shows you how Codeception could be used for unit testing.
