Pragmatic unit testing: black-box vs white-box Pragmatic unit testing is about investing only in the tests that yield the biggest return on your effort. In the previous posts, we discussed what traits a valuable test possess (high chance of catching a regression, low chance of producing a false positive, fast feedback) and how various styles of unit testing (functional, state verification, collaboration verification) differ in terms of their value proposition.

In this post, I’d like to show a common approach to introducing immutability to your code base on an architectural level. Immutability, State, and Side Effects Before we start, let’s take a minute to define the terms. Most likely, you have already encountered them but I want to make sure we are on the same page here.
