This video provides an introduction to the NUnit. NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. The video covers what is NUnit, how to set it up, creating a test class and running tests.
Mockito is an open source mocking framework for Java. In this series of blog posts, Holger Staudacher shares his experiences with Mockito. He defines “effective” as arriving at clean test and production code as fast as possible. The first post of Effective Mockito explains how to setup Mockito in the Eclipse IDE for the daily work. The second post focuses on Mockito’s @Mock Annotation.
In this blog post, Steve Madsen shares how to use RSpec on an OS/X machine to write unit tests for Objective-C classes. He provides a detailled step by step tutorial on how to install MacRuby, RSpec and how to set up your Cocoa (Mac or iOS) project to perform unit testing with RSpec.
Thucydides is an open source tool that lets you use WebDriver-based unit or Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests to write more flexible and more reusable WebDriver-based tests, and also to generate documentation about your acceptance tests. In this blog post, John Ferguson Smart explains how you can use Spring dependencies in your acceptance tests with Thucydides if you need to run your acceptance tests against an embedded web server.
One of the biggest challenges facing web applications is the support of web browsers with different versions. This challenge is inherited from the lack of testing the JavaScript code living in the presentation tier from day one. Without unit testing this code, organizations may pay for repeated testing of web applications after upgrading or supporting new browsers. This article shows you how to reduce testing costs using efficient unit testing for JavaScript code.
Inside Google, Javascript is the 4 largest language (in terms of lines of code) but one the fastest growing. Developing fast, robust and high quality Javascript is however a challenge within the industry. Unlike C++ or Java, the availability of high quality development, debugging and testing tools for Javascript is still lagging industry standards.
Integration tests are performed after a successful execution of unit tests. Integration tests are, therefore, executed less frequently, because unit tests will naturally fail often. With this strict separation between unit tests and integration tests, we can save several minutes (sometimes, hours) with each turnaround. This article explains how integration testing can increase your productivity and ensure the deployability of your Java EE 6 application.
