Study Notes
Unit Testing
Definition
- A software testing method where individual units of code are tested to ensure they function as expected
- Units can be functions, methods, classes, or modules
Characteristics
- Isolation: Each unit is tested independently, without interactions with other units
- Fast: Unit tests are typically fast and provide quick feedback
- Repeatable: Unit tests can be run multiple times with the same results
- Self-Validating: Unit tests check their own results and report pass or fail
Benefits
- Early Detection of Defects: Unit tests help catch bugs early in the development cycle
- Faster Development: Unit tests provide confidence in the code, allowing developers to make changes quickly
- Improved Code Quality: Unit tests encourage good design and promote simplicity
- Reduced Debugging Time: Unit tests help identify the source of errors quickly
Types of Unit Tests
- White Box Testing: Tests that have knowledge of the internal workings of the unit
- Black Box Testing: Tests that have no knowledge of the internal workings of the unit
- Gray Box Testing: Tests that have some knowledge of the internal workings of the unit
Best Practices
- Write Tests First: Write unit tests before writing the code
- Keep Tests Independent: Avoid interdependent tests
- Use Mock Objects: Use mock objects to isolate dependencies
- Test for Expected Failures: Test for expected failures to ensure the code handles errors correctly

Benefits
- Early Defect Detection: Catches bugs early in the development cycle
- Faster Development: Provides confidence in the code, allowing quick changes
- Improved Code Quality: Encourages good design and promotes simplicity
- Reduced Debugging Time: Helps identify error sources quickly
Types of Unit Tests
- White Box: Tests with knowledge of internal workings
- Black Box: Tests with no knowledge of internal workings
- Gray Box: Tests with some knowledge of internal workings
Best Practices
- Test-Driven Development (TDD): Write tests before writing the code
- Independent Tests: Avoid interdependent tests
- Mock Objects: Use them to isolate dependencies
- Error Handling Tests: Test for expected failures to ensure error handling
Children's Risk Assessment
- Services likely to be accessed by children must complete a children's risk assessment to ensure they understand the risks to children and implement measures to manage and mitigate those risks.
- The draft Children's Risk Assessment Guidance helps services meet their risk assessment duties and outlines the steps to complete a suitable and sufficient risk assessment.
Steps to Complete a Children's Risk Assessment
- Understand content that could be harmful to children by reviewing types of harmful content.
- Assess the risk of harm to children by identifying risk factors, likelihood, and impact of each type of harmful content.
- Implement safety measures and record outcomes to reduce the risk of harm to children.
Related Guidance and Resources
- Draft Children's Risk Profiles provide an overview of risk factors that increase the risks of harm to children.
- Draft Children's Register of Risks outlines how risks of harm to children manifest online.
- Guidance on Content Harmful to Children sets out examples of content considered harmful to children.
- Draft Children's Access Assessments Guidance helps service providers determine if their service is likely to be accessed by children.
Key Requirements
- Services must complete a 'suitable and sufficient' children's risk assessment, which includes all relevant elements of the risk assessment in the Act.
- The risk assessment must be carried out to a suitable and sufficient standard for the service.
Purpose of Children's Risk Assessment
- To protect children from online harms and ensure services take necessary measures to mitigate risks.
- To help services understand the risks to children and implement measures to manage and mitigate those risks.
