Pragmatic Unit Testing Pluralsight course
My new course Building a Pragmatic Unit Test Suite for Pluralsight went live. Building a Pragmatic Unit Test Suite Unit testing can be applied differently. Like many other things in programming, there are a lot of ways to mess up with it. It’s important to differentiate unit testing techniques that help bring confidence in your code base correctness from techniques that can potentially have a devastating effect on your entire test suite.
Pragmatic integration testing
The topic described in this article is part of my Unit Testing Pluralsight course. When trying to break down unit testing, the bigger picture stays incomplete if you overlook the subject of integration testing. In this post, we’ll discuss how to make the most out of your integration tests with pragmatic integration testing. Integration tests are tests that, unlike unit tests, work with some of the volatile dependencies directly (usually with the database and the file system).
Integration testing or how to sleep well at nights
Unit testing is good at checking the correctness of your code in isolation, but it’s not a panacea. Only integration tests can give us confidence that the application we develop actually works as a whole. They are also a good substitute for mocks in the cases where you can’t test important business logic without involving external dependencies.
