An introduction to unit testing
The document discusses introductory concepts and best practices for unit testing, including: 1. Why unit tests are important for reducing bugs, improving design, and making development faster. 2. The different types of tests like unit tests, integration tests, and functional tests. 3. What constitutes a unit test, including that it is small, repeatable, consistent, and fast. 4. An example of writing a "Hello World" unit test in C#.

- 16. “A unit testis a fast, in-memory, consistent, automated and repeatable test of a functional unit-of-work in the system.” “A unit of work is any functional scenario in the system that contains logic. It can be as short as a function, or it can span multiple classes and functions, and it provides internal or business value to the system under test.” “Art of Unit Testing” Roy Osherove What is a Unit test?
- 17. What makes somethinga UNIT test ? Small: Validates a single concern / unit of work Repeatable: You can rerun the same test as many times as you want. Consistent: Every time you run it, you get the same result. In Memory: It has no “hard” dependencies on anything not in memory (such as file system, databases, network) Fast: It should take a fraction of a second to run a unit test.

- 26. What to UnitTest
- 27. Do You KnowWhat Code To Unit Test? Unit tests should be written for: Fragile Code - e.g. Regular Expressions - see below When errors can be difficult to spot - e.g. Rounding, arithmetic, calculations - see below Unit tests should not be written for: Generated Code Private methods Dependencies - e.g. Database Schema, Datasets, Web Services - see below Performance - e.g. Slow forms, Time critical applications - see below http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/standards/rules/RulesToBetterUnitTests.aspx#HowMany
- 28.
- 29. Tests for ComplexCode http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/standards/rules/RulesToBetterUnitTests.aspx#Arithmetic
- 30. Tests are theBest Documentation Static Documentation is Technical Debt ! Unit Tests add value!
- 31.
- 32. Benefits of UnitTests
- 33. Isolate eachpart of the program and check that the individual parts work Strict, written contract that the piece of code must satisfy Allows you to refactor code and make sure it still works correctly (regression testing) Benefits of Unit Tests (1)
- 34. Simplifies integration Testing the parts of a program first, and then testing their integration Provides documentation Clients and other developers can look at their unit tests to gain a basic understanding of the APIs and determine how to use the module to fit their needs Improve code quality Code that cannot be easily tested is not factored properly Benefits of Unit Tests (2)
- 35. Code withautomated validation reduces the time spent manually testing, manually debugging, and hunting for errors Writing tests as the code is written lets you fail fast (find errors early). Bugs are cheaper/faster to fix the earlier they are found Unit testing lets you refactor safely, finding any regressions as they are introduced Unit Tests Save Time
- 36. What is NOTa Unit Test
- 37. Pop Quiz –What’s NQR ? [TestMethod] public void TestCalculation() { var orderManager = new OrderManager(); using (var db = new NorthwindDataContext()) { var order = db.Orders.FirstOrDefault(); var actual = orderManager.GetTotalIncGST(order); var expected = order.OrderItems.Sum(oi => oi.Qty * price) * 1.1; Assert.AreEqual(actual, expected); } } 1. What are we testing? 2. Database Access !
- 38. It talks tothe database It communicates across the network It touches the file system It cannot be run in isolation from any other unit test It can't run at the same time as any of your other unit tests You have to do special things to your environment to run it (e.g. editing config files / registry settings) You are not testing a class in isolation from other concrete classes When is a test *not* a Unit test? http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/standards/rules/RulesToBetterUnitTests.aspx#DependenciesDB
- 39. What is it? If it’s not a unit test…..
- 40. Test theIntegration of multiple components UI, Business Layer, Database Not in memory Touches File system Registry Database Other shared resources Integration test
- 41. Run much slower not run in-memory Less consistent Dependent from external resources Has side effects Harder to prepare E.g. Database setup Integration test
- 42. Great when writingcode to integrate to 3rd party APIs Great for finding out when there is a problem with a large complex system (is it the code, the database or a dependency) Great for ensuring availability of external components (zsValidate) Integration test
- 43. Different Levels ofAttention Unit tests – should ALWAYS pass. - Should be run on every CI Build Integration tests – will sometimes be red - Should be excluded from CI Build
