What Is A Unit Test?3

Unit Tests

•Tests a single unit of code (typically a method)•Tests the unit of code in ISOLATION•Tests that the code behaves as expected

Unit Tests

• It’s still code•Code that tests code

•Exercise SUT, check behaviour

•Concepts: Test Class, Test Method

Unit Tests

•Should be fast (< 10 ms)•Should be consistent (same result always)•Should run in memory (no db, file access)•Should run in any order (no dependencies on other tests)

Impacts

•Fast Feedback•Cleaner design •Code and componente decoupling•Confidence•Executable documentation, with usage samples•Reduce regression

TDD vs. Unit Testing4

unit testing is not TDD

TDDis

unit testing (in a particular order)

TDD in three steps

TDD isdifferent approach
