Tutorials and resources on how to apply unit testing in software testing
Writing test should be part of the normal routine of every software developer. It is however not always the case. In his book ” Bad Tests, Good Tests”, Tomek Kaczanowski provides some interesting tips to improve your test writing activity.
There is always a lot of discussions about the costs and benefits of unit testing. The opposition was exacerbated by the adoption of Test-Driven Development (TDD), a technique that recommends writing unit tests before you write the code. In this blog post, Steven Sanderson discusses unit testing with a costs and benefits perspective.
This talk shares some experience with JavaScript tests, and show the most important patterns you can rely on to write simple, beautiful, maintainable and incredibly fast tests.
Unit testing is always causing some debate about its usefulness in the software development community. Some developers argue that unit tests are a waste of time because they provide few value to assess the quality of the final system and they are difficult to maintain. In his Henrik Warne explains why he thinks that you get a lot of value from unit tests.
Tomek Kaczanowski writes that the idea behind its “Bad Tests, Good Tests” book is “to present test code snippets and discuss ways of making them better.” To achieve this goal, he explores a large amount of code and tests to discuss all the issues that you can meet in your software testing activities.
Let’s have a close look into the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and understand the subtleties of each step. When we go down the rabbit hole of Test Driven Design (TDD), we sometimes take too big steps leading us to many failed tests we just can bring back to green without writing a lot of code. We need to take a step back and take the shrinking potion of baby steps again.
This presentation looks at the chasm-crossing potential of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and some related technologies. The aim is that you will still be able to get a good software development job in 2024.
