Test Essentials @mdevcon 2012
0 likes334 views
This document discusses testing from a developer perspective. It recommends writing tests first before coding to document intentions and allow for safe refactoring. Various testing frameworks are described, including xUnit frameworks, behavior driven development (BDD) frameworks that describe expected behavior, and BDD frameworks that use Given/When/Then syntax. It also discusses the importance of UI/UX testing tools like Selenium. The key takeaways are: 1) write tests first to guide development, 2) xUnit and BDD frameworks provide different approaches to testing code, 3) UI testing tools are needed to test applications at a user interface level.

Test Essentials @mdevcon 2012
- 1. Test Essentials Developer Perspective
- 2. Maxim Zaks @iceX33! [email protected]
- 3. itemis AG MDSD! OpenSource! Eclipse! Agile! Mobile
- 4. What‘s your deal? iOS! Android! WP7! WebDeveloper
- 5. Why should we test? document your intentions! eat your own dog food! confidence by feedback! safe refactoring! debugging
- 6. How can we test?
- 7. Test First Red, Green, Refactor! Goes perfect with Unit Testing and Pair Programming
- 8. Test After White Box Testing! It is better than nothing!! And sometimes even necessary:! Regression Test! Integration Test! Acceptance Test (UI/UX Test)
- 9. Test because you have a test phase ! Just don‘t do that!! Code have to be written with Test in mind! Black Box Test = QA
- 10. Test to explore ! Example driven development! Update safely to newer versions
- 11. What do we need for testing? DSL to define the test! Runner to execute the test! Reports to visualize results
- 12. Test Frameworks forms the DSL
- 13. xUnit Frameworks Class is a test case! Each public „test“ Method is a single test! Test case may hold state, setup Kent Beck and tear down methods
- 14. JUnit / OCUnit http://www.junit.org/
- 15. What we should keep in mind using xUnit Test Methods should be atomic, as we don‘t know the order they will be executed! Test methods should be simple. No Conditions and no loops! Method and class names are used for reporting! Consider to use mocking and matching frameworks to make tests more concise
- 16. What‘s mocking all about? Unit testing is all about isolation! We wan‘t to test a boss who depend on his assistant! We provide him a spy assistant and monitor how he interacts! Dependency Injection is the concept that let us do isolation in non dynamic language
- 18. And what was it with matching? Matchers let us express expectations in a very concise way! Matchers will generate a pretty report when expectation is not fulfilled! Matching framework let us define our own matchers
- 20. What‘s wrong with xUnit xUnit Frameworks are the basis for Test Driven Development! Perfect from technical perspective! But hard to use for communication (remember: „document your intensions“)
- 21. Behavior Driven Development It‘s all about Communication! don‘t test! specify your code Dan North
- 22. BDD Frameworks There are two main flavors behind BDD Frameworks:! Describe what you expect it should do (RSpec family)! Given/When/Then (Cucumber family)
- 23. describe what you expect it should do Internal DSL which let you write executable or pending specifications! Good fit for Unit testing! Comes with mocking and matching solutions inside! Let you define nonlinear context creation
- 26. Given/When/Then Breaks down into:! Feature! User story! Scenario! Steps (Given/When/Then)
- 27. External DSL Given/When/Then frameworks work perfectly with external DSLs! These frameworks can evaluate Plain Text, Wiki Pages or Excel spread sheets and execute the steps
- 30. Let‘s sum up on Testing Frameworks xUnit Frameworks (with handy helpers)! Describe what you expect it should do! Given/When/Then! And as always there is one more thing, UX/UI Testing
- 31. UI Test Framework Selenium! KIF! UIAutomation! Zucchini Framework
- 32. UX / UI Testing Launch the application in the runtime! Select UI element! Perform actions! Wait for UI component to appear! Assert visual or structural appearance
- 33. One small advice: If you can record and replay a test case. Just Don‘t!
- 36. Zucchini Report
- 37. Zucchini Report
- 38. I hope I could convince you that Test is important and exciting
- 39. Some concepts as Military Metaphors
- 40. Leave no men behind 100% code coverage
- 41. Protect your rear (back) Test protects you from butterfly effect
- 42. Sniper vs. Cluster Bomb Unit vs. Integration Test
- 43. Q&A
- 44. Thank you!!! We are consulting :)
