Unit testing
- 1. Preventing Bugs with Unit Testing Chapter 5 - Coder to Developer by Mike Gunderloy Instructor : Dr.James Fawcett Presented by Priyaa Nachimuthu priyaa@syr.edu
- 2. Agenda Types of Testing Testing for Developers Unit Testing Using NUnit Test – Driven Development Refactoring Unit Testing Summary
- 3. Types of Testing Unit Testing – testing very small pieces of code Integration Testing - code doesn't break someone else’s code System Testing – exercising the entire application to make it fail Stress Testing – push the limits of the application until it fails Beta Testing – giving copies of the unfinished code to outside testers for feedback Acceptance Testing – formal verification of requirements
- 4. Testing for Developers Check out the module Write the code for the next feature to be implemented Write unit tests to test the feature Ensure that the code passes the unit tests Get the latest code for the entire application Make sure the whole project passes the integration tests Check in code and unit tests
- 5. Unit Testing JUnit – by Erich Gamma and Kent Beck for Java development NUnit – free, open source framework, a .Net unit testing tool.NUnitAddin,TestRunner for NUnit integrates NUnit with VS.Net.NUnitAsp supports NUnit testing of ASP. Net pages. ( http://nunit.org ) csUnit – free, open-source implementation. Additional features, includes project wizards to build new testing projects easily and a UI with more information. ( http://csunit.org ) HarnessIt - $199.Pluaggable test engine architecture. Easy testing of web and remote applications using the same tools as local windows applications.( www.unittesting.com/default.aspx ) X-Unity - $129.VS.Net integration, a development kit for unit tests, and integration ( http://x-unity.miik.com.ua/ ) .TEST - $900.Writes many unit tests for the user. Uses rules-based engine to ensure code correctness and allows the user to write custom tests.( www.parasoft.com/jsp/products/home.jsp?product=TestNet )
- 6. Using NUnit for Unit Testing A simple test Debugging NUnit tests Testing an exception Testing with mock objects
- 7. Test Driven Development A new testing technique by advocates of Extreme Programming. Introduction to TDD : “Test-Driven Development” by Kent Beck. Two simple rules - Write a failing automated test before writing any code - Remove duplication
- 8. TDD – Plan of Action Quickly add a test Run all tests and see the new one fail Make a little change Run all tests and see them all succeed Refactor to remove duplication
- 9. TDD in Action Code Sample
- 10. Refactoring Martin Fowler’s Refactoring : Improving the Design of the existing Code The process of changing a software system in such a way that it doesn't alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. Refactoring patterns Code Thrashing – developers with different ideas
- 11. Refactoring Tools dotEasy – free ( www.doteasy.com.uy/ ) The C# Refactoring Tool - $110 ( http://dotnetrefactoring.com/ ) C# Refactory - $99 ( www.xtreme- simplicity.net/CSharpReFactory.html ) FlyWheel - $449 ( www.velocitis.com/ )
- 12. Unit Testing Checklist Write unit tests for all code Don’t postpone the tests Ensure that the code passes unit tests and integration tests before check-ins Use automated tools such as NUnit Check the tests and any other setup files into SCC Consider using TDD for 100% coverage Refactor code only when there are thorough set of tests for the code
