Works really well on individual components.
it('calculates the square root', function() {
var CUT = new Calculator();
expect(CUT.sqrt(25)).toBe(5);
});
!

...not as well when you have collaborator components.
it('renders the welcome view', function() {
var CUT = getMockBox()
.createMock('handlers.Welcome');
var mockService = getMockBox().createMock('models.WelcomeService');
mockService.$('getGreeting', 'Greetings!');
CUT.mockProperty(propertyName = 'service', mock = mockService);
var event = CUT.index();
expect(event.getValue('greeting')).toBe('Greetings!');
});
!

Here's the same test as an Integration test.
it('renders the welcome view', function() {
var event = execute(event = 'Welcome.index', renderResults = true);
expect(event.getValue('greeting')).toBe('Greetings!');
});
!

Before we go any further...
PROS AND CONS

PROS
> Easier to get started with
> Makes sure that your application is wired together
correctly
> Avoids Mocks (which can be really confusing)
> High level tests make refactoring easier

CONS
> Slow
> Doesn't really help you do TDD
> Really slow
> Needs a testing database of some kind
> Did I mention slow?

PROBLEM
Running the test multiple times fails or creates multiple
database records

PROBLEM
If we want to use database transactions, we can only
make one request
Also, the tests are getting kind of messy

Delete prefetch automaticallyMrko3ko3

This document discusses automatically deleting the Windows prefetch folder to improve performance. It provides instructions for creating a batch file that deletes the prefetch folder contents automatically with the "/q" switch to make it truly automatic. However, the administrator note recommends only deleting the prefetch folder once a month, otherwise it defeats the purpose of the cache. The prefetch folder helps improve application launch times by caching common program access patterns.

Combinatorial software test design beyond pairwise testingJustin Hunter

This document discusses combinatorial software test design methods for selecting a small number of tests that achieve good coverage of interactions between test inputs. It explains that structured variation between tests is important to explore different areas of the software. Combinatorial testing uses algorithms to calculate the smallest number of tests needed to cover all target combinations of test inputs, like all pairs of values. This method can find many bugs with fewer tests than an unstructured approach.

Von JavaEE auf Microservice in 6 Monaten - The Good, the Bad, and the wtfs...André Goliath

This document summarizes a talk about transitioning from JavaEE monoliths to microservices architecture in 6 months. It discusses the reasons for moving to microservices (faster development and deployment, lower costs), and the challenges including organizing configuration, communication between services, and deployment. It then outlines the steps taken to implement microservices at a company, including setting up continuous integration, using Spring Boot and Cloud, and establishing vertical feature teams to overcome organizational barriers. The key lessons are that the transition does not require a "big bang", can start with a single service, and works best by automating the development and deployment process from development to production.

Testing micro services using testkitsMaxim Novak

Micro-services are the new black; everyone is using them. Alas, when your system is composed of many micro-services, testing becomes more challenging. The straight-forward approach for E2E testing no longer suffices and for integration tests it doesn't even exist. A better way to test in this kind of an environment would be to work with a test kit of the micro-service you are interacting with. By the end of this talk, you will learn how to create a test-kit that covers your micro-service. Testing this way will grant you a much higher level of confidence, and will portray a more accurate picture of your assumptions vs. reality. Overall it will make any integration between micro-services easier, thus benefit your colleagues and make your company progress faster.

Test Driven Developmentguestc8093a6

Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile software development process where test cases are developed before code. The TDD process involves writing a test, watching it fail, writing code to pass the test, and refactoring code as needed. TDD encourages dividing work into small pieces and promotes high-quality code by requiring tests to pass before adding new features. While TDD requires more initial time writing tests, it can reduce debugging time and defects in the long run.

Test-Driven Development In ActionJon Kruger

This document provides an overview of test driven development (TDD), including what TDD is, an example unit test, the TDD process, benefits of TDD such as more maintainable code and fewer bugs, and resources for learning and practicing TDD such as books and training courses. TDD involves writing automated tests before implementation code to help ensure code quality and catch errors early. The process involves writing a test, seeing it fail, then writing just enough code to make it pass and refactoring as needed.

Building unit tests correctlyDror Helper

This document discusses best practices for writing unit tests. It emphasizes that unit tests should be easy to understand, trustworthy, and robust. A good unit test only fails if a bug is introduced or requirements change. The document provides examples of well-written unit tests and discusses how to avoid common problems like fragile tests. It stresses the importance of testing only specified functionality, using isolation frameworks to mock dependencies, and not putting test logic in the test. Overall, the document promotes writing "clean tests" to avoid brittle tests and minimize maintenance overhead.
