Unit Test Cases

Unit tests are used to test individual code components and ensure that code works the way it was intended to. Unit tests are written and executed by developers. Most of the time a testing framework like JUnit or TestNG is used. Test cases are typically written at a method level and executed via automation.

Why is it being used in Eshopbox?

• Unit Tests fix bug early in development cycle.

• It helps developers understand the code base and enable them to make changes quickly.

Audience

All software backend, frontend, and mean stack engineers.

Do’s:

• Test only one code unit at a time

• Make each test independent of all the others. It will prevent you to identify the root cause of test case failures.

• Mock out all external services and state.

• Write tests for methods that have the fewest dependencies first, and work your way up.

Don’ts:

• Don’t make unnecessary assertions.

• Don’t unit-test configuration settings.
