Overview/Description

Explore prominent unit testing patterns, differences between good and bad unit tests, code-driven unit testing frameworks, and other topics in this 14-video course. Begin with a look at Agile testing, focusing on Agile Testing Quadrants, then move on to prominent unit testing patterns and scenarios. Compare good and bad tests and the goals and approaches of writing good unit tests, and compare prominent code-driven unit testing frameworks that can be used to write unit tests in various programming languages. Discover how to implement the AAA unit testing pattern by using JUnit and TestNB, and the need for Test Double and how Dummy, Fake, stub class, and Mock objects are used to facilitate test replacements. Use Mockito application programming interface (API) to implement unit tests, and configure and write JUnit tests to test RESTful APIs with Mocha and Chai. In addition, unit test web services using SOAP UI, and use DBUnit to test data access objects written for database-driven applications. Explore unit testing using test-driven development (TDD) process, and automated testing with JUnit and Selenium.
