Unit & Integration Testing
Automated unit and integration tests check that each part of your application works, alone and together, so changes can ship without regressions.
Where we use it
We write unit and integration tests to ensure that our code is reliable and works as expected. Unit tests verify individual components in isolation, while integration tests ensure that different parts of the application work together correctly. This practice helps us catch bugs early and refactor code with confidence.
Strengths
- Ensures code reliability and correctness.
- Facilitates safe refactoring and future changes.
- Provides living documentation of the code's behavior.
Trade-offs
- Writing and maintaining tests takes time.
- Can be difficult to write good tests for complex UI interactions.
- Achieving high test coverage can be challenging.
Questions
More in Testing, Build & Deployment
Docker
Docker packages applications and their dependencies into containers, so they run the same way in development, testing and production environments.
Package Management
Package managers such as npm keep a project's third-party libraries versioned and reproducible, and help us track and patch vulnerable dependencies.
Serverless Functions
Serverless functions run backend code on demand without managing servers, well suited to APIs, webhooks and background jobs with uneven traffic.
