trial and errors are key to building anything new and innovative.
The way you test has a huge impact on your codebase maintainability. There is a simple way to improve it
Here's why you need to know TDD craft.
Use mature tools to make mature software
Tests are a way to explicitly set expectations about code. You establish them to allow the machine to check whether your code meets the expectations.
In this article we will review some best practices and must-have libraries which will get your unit tests to the next level.
How many automated tests should you write? Just Enough. Just Enough Testing balances the need to ship with the quality your customers deserve.
Alex is a software engineering veteran with over 30 years of hands-on professional experience. He is a staunch advocate of Extreme Programming and TDD.
All you need to know about unit testing LINQ and mappings in .NET to make more reliable code faster as you develop software using systems like AutoMapper
TDD for building a CLI application using the oclif framework.
Test Driven Development puts emphasis on unit over integration tests. The result can be lower quality featuring bugs that are baked into the product.
Using automation testing tools is an excellent way to go about verification of your product.
In this article, we will explore the key considerations when choosing test cases for Automation Testing.
The Conquest and Conquer is an analogy for serious software development. I will combine the TDD solution with an automated code generated using Artificial Intel
I've struggled and spent a lot of hours writing manual Python scripts to be able to test a product involving many microservices. All of them following the REST conventions. Overwhelmed with too many scripts, each one test different endpoints, how they respond also what they respond, I've decided to create a Python package to easily do this, without needing to create a manual Python script, import libraries to send an HTTP Request, copy and paste code from other scripts to test fast the new endpoints, etc.
By getting used to unit tests, they can start to familiarize themselves with the codebase and make significant progress while facing no risk or stress.
While writing a CLI tool can be a lot of fun, the initial setup and boilerplate—parsing arguments and flags, validation, subcommands—is generally the same.
This is the first in a series of blog posts in which we outline the benefits of TDD for your organization and what are the projects to consider while adopting this agile process. Link of Part Two.
Want to improve your software quality engineering processes but don't know where to start? This software testing maturity model and assessment may help!
This is the second story of Road to Simplicity. And it’s about the role of tests in software writing.
We keep practicing this amazing Kata and learning. You can follow the steps!
Every tutorial I've read for the last 30 years starts with the infamous 'Hello World' example. This could be one of the reasons we write crappy software.
Have you ever wanted to write unit tests for your code, but you’ve found that it’s difficult to do so? Often this is the result of not writing code with testing in mind. An easy way to solve this is through utilizing test-driven development, a development process in which you write your tests before your app code.
In true TDD, tests must fail, tests must pass, and the code must be refactored.
I was preparing yet another session about Test Driven Development (TDD) (I do quite a lot of these as part of my position) and I thought it would be a good idea to allure the audience at the beginning by showing some statistics.
All software companies strive to produce quality products. The journey begins with a product that works. Software correctness is usually defined as the adherence of software to its specification. In most cases, formal verification is not possible. As such, we typically impose functional correctness with test coverage.
Test Driven Development (TDD) is a software development cycle that focusses on describing the behaviour of your code first using tests
Your Practical Introduction to Test Driven Development
It isn't about being diligent. It's because we've forgotten what we knew.

Manual Or Automatic Testing?
Whenever you’re developing software, a certain amount of refactoring and rewriting is inevitable. This is sometimes due to a new idea that will simplify the design or a change to the project requirements. But unfortunately, it often also happens because of a misunderstanding about how the software will connect and interact with its external environment. While it’s impossible to completely avoid such miscommunication, you can minimize it by using a principle I call writing software from the outside in.
When we start developing an app we usually do it the old fashion way: we get an idea, we elaborate on it, we make a plan to develop an app then we start coding and in the end, we test if our app is working properly.
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a really powerful tool that helps us build robust, value-based software. You can sometimes hear detractors say that it brings a lot of complexity and leads to long tests difficult to maintain. Let's take stock of what BDD really is, by determining anti-patterns and best practices.
It sounds backwards because it really is
Writing React Test with react recommended libraries — Jest & React Testing Library for complete beginners.
Developing a complete word game is very easy with TDD
On my journey on Microverse, one of the things that troubled me the most to understand was RSpec, a Ruby gem for Test-Driven Development. The concept is quite simple. You create tests as you code along, so in the future, if an update breaks something, it will be easy to notice because one or more tests will fail.
Test-driven development (TDD) is all the rage these days and has been a discussion topic for quite some time. If you are brand new to TDD, this article should serve as a good introduction to what TDD is, why it’s useful, what a typical TDD workflow looks like, and when to use TDD.
We all love T.D.D. We know its benefits, we have read a thousand tutorials on how to build a system using this technique. But this not feasible for currently legacy systems.
For the last few of months I started digging into the software testing world. I really wanted to learn more about how to create more effective tests, refactor code with more confidence and feel safe about adding new features. However, I felt it is little difficult to dive right in this area, that in my point of view, is underestimated.
Selecting great test cases is very hard. Unless you summon the undead.
