Testing is Con dence fi @BrianDemers | bdemers

Types of Testing @BrianDemers | bdemers • Manual • Unit • Integration • Functional • Non-Functional

Manual Testing Usability Filling in the non-automated gaps Exploratory @BrianDemers | bdemers

Unit Testing @BrianDemers | bdemers • Tests for isolated chunks of code • NO external dependencies • Fast

You cannot refactor without unit tests @BrianDemers | bdemers

What to Test ? @BrianDemers | bdemers

Example Code public User addUser(String firstName, String lastName) { String username = firstName.charAt(0) + lastName; return database.createUser(username, firstName, lastName); } @BrianDemers | bdemers
