Study Notes

Test Types

Unit Testing

  • Testing individual units of code (functions, methods, classes) in isolation
  • Focuses on ensuring each unit functions correctly
  • Typically performed by developers during the development process
  • Benefits:
    • Fast and inexpensive
    • Helps catch bugs early
    • Improves code quality
  • Tools:
    • JUnit (Java)
    • PyUnit (Python)
    • NUnit (.NET)

Integration Testing

  • Testing how multiple units of code work together
  • Focuses on ensuring interactions between units are correct
  • Typically performed after unit testing
  • Benefits:
    • Ensures correct data flow between units
    • Helps catch integration bugs
    • Improves overall system reliability
  • Tools:
    • Selenium (Web)
    • Apache JMeter (Performance)

Acceptance Testing

  • Testing the entire system to ensure it meets requirements
  • Focuses on ensuring the system meets user expectations
  • Typically performed by testers or QA teams
  • Benefits:
    • Ensures system meets business requirements
    • Helps catch defects that affect user experience
    • Improves overall system quality
  • Tools:
    • Cucumber (BDD)
    • TestComplete (Functional)
