Example text

All the units have to work together, and each could malfunction, making it harder to find the source of the bug. 2 to integration tests and consider what you want to achieve with real-world unit tests: ■ Can I run and get results from the test I wrote two weeks or months or years ago? If you can’t, how would you know whether you broke a feature that you created earlier? Code changes regularly during the life of an application, and if you can’t (or won’t) run tests for all the previously working features after changing your code, you just might break it without knowing.

On a more upbeat note, you may have had a great first experience with unit tests, and you’re reading this to see what more you might be missing. This chapter will first analyze the “classic” definition of a unit test and compare it to the concept of integration testing. This distinction is confusing to many. Then we’ll look at the pros and cons of unit testing versus integration testing and develop a better definition of a “good” unit test. We’ll finish with a look at testdriven development, because it’s often associated with unit testing.

It’s code that will probably get used by the unit of work you’re testing, but there’s no need to test it directly. But watch out: once you add any check inside a property, you’ll want to make sure that logic is being tested. In the next section, we’ll look at a simple unit test done entirely with code, without using any unit testing framework. 5 A simple unit test example It’s possible to write an automated unit test without using a test framework. In fact, because developers have gotten more into the habit of automating their testing, I’ve seen plenty of them doing this before discovering test frameworks.
