- 4. Introduction 4 Cool things that we were learnt in the school: 1. Algorithm and programming 2. UML and design 3. Test 4. Software project management Must utilize all of them to create a good app?
- 5. Introduction 5 Definition of test automation: “Test automation is the use of special software to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes”

- 7. Test and me 7 Coding business services Try my best but my code still has serious errors Developers in GUI layer complain Testers complain And the world hates me Q: How to let they know I am a good developer ? A: writing unit test Business Service GUI Database Three-tier application
- 8. Test and me: benefits of testing 8 Save my life Improve product quality Save my energy when: Modify source code: Maintain, upgrade Fix bugs Identify bugs Avoid my silly and repetitive bugs
- 10. Testing Framework: JUnit 10 JUnit is an unit testing framework for Java The most popular testing framework for Java Ported to other languages: CPP, PHP, C#, Ruby, Javascript … (21 languages) Supported in IDEs: Netbeans, Eclipse Simple and easy to use
- 11. Testing Framework: JUnit 11 Test Class Test Result Expected Outcome
- 12. Testing Framework: JUnit 12 Suite: Group tests from many classes Run test group as a single test execution Category: Group tests that are marked in sepecific classes Run test group as a single test execution
- 13. JUnit summary 13 Keywords: 1. Assert.assertXXX() 2. @BeforeClass 3. @AfterClass 4. @Before 5. @After 6. @Test 7. Suite 8. Category
- 14. Best Practice to Implement Unit Test 14
- 15. Best Practice 15 06 steps: 1. Identify test class, test method example: to test UserService and AccessControlService: create UserServiceTest with two method: 1. testUser(): CRUD and Find 2. testAccessControl(): assign, unassign and check permission
- 16. Best Practice 16 06 steps: 2. Describe test
- 17. Best Practice 17 06 steps: 3 + 4 3. Implement test: should prefix variables by step name 4. Join test into Single Test Category and run
- 18. Best Practice 18 06 steps: 5 + 6 5. Create new suite or category if necessary 6. Join test into suitable suite(s) and/or category(s) and run this suite(s) and/or category(s) DEMO: 1. Single Test Category 2. Test Low Layer (Services) 3. Test High Layer (Controllers) 4. Load Test ----------
- 19. FAQ 19
- 20. FAQ 20 Q: what is test-driven development? A: “is a software development process that replies on the repetion of very short development cycle: 1. Add a test 2. Run all tests and see if the new one fails 3. Write some code 4. Run tests 5. Refactor code And repeat” Related to the test-first programming concepts of XP
- 21. FAQ 21 Q: It is already 100K LOC, with no tests. Is it over? A: NO, this is the good time to try writing tests
- 22. FAQ 22 Q: what is mock object? A: Simulate objects that mimic behavior of real objects Used in a unit test when real object is impracticial Q: have you ever used a mock framework in test? A: NO Q: what are disadvantages of writing unit tests? A: Slow down the release time
- 23. FAQ 23 Q: Do good developers not need to write test? NO, because good developers will work with more sophisticated projects Q: Do good products have good tests and vice versa? Maybe YES
- 24. Conclusion 24 Test Automation lengthens coder life and improves software quality JUnit is easy to use Let start writing unit test to build a better life!
