Unit Testing - Reading Assignment

  1. What is Unit Testing?
    Unit testing is to test the smallest part of the software to make sure that the components are working as expected

  2. Refactoring means that you change and (hopefully) improve the internal structure of the code without changing the behaviour of the code. For example, developers may change a piece of code in order to make the code run faster but still perform the same task. Why is unit testing important for refactoring?
    it allows to test only one smart piece and change if needed

  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    by testing the parts first and than the sum of all. makes it easier to find errors in the code and redo the smaller parts

1.) What is Unit Testing?
A.) unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of source code—sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures—are tested to determine whether they are fit for purpose.

3.) behaviour of the code. For example, developers may change a piece of code in order to make the code run faster but still perform the same task. Why is unit testing important for refactoring?

A.) Unit Testing is the software testing technique where a group of software program components or modules are tested individually. This technique effectively helps in validating the accuracy of a section of code by considering stubs, mock objects, drivers, and unit testing frameworks.

4.) How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
A.) In Bottom Up Integration Testing, testing takes place from bottom to up. Lowest level modules are tested first and then high-level modules and finally integrating the high-level modules to a low level to ensure the system is working as intended. Drivers are used as a temporary module for integration testing.

  1. What is Unit Testing?
    A method examining whether individual units of source code are usable and free of bugs. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application.

  2. Refactoring means that you change and (hopefully) improve the internal structure of the code without changing the behaviour of the code. For example, developers may change a piece of code in order to make the code run faster but still perform the same task. Why is unit testing important for refactoring?
    Unit testing facilitates refactoring at a later stage in the testing process and the deployment of readily available unit tests allows programmers to rapidly identify and fix faults caused by changes in the code base.

  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    As it instills confidence in the fitness for use of individual units, making integration testing easier.

    Unit testing is the process of taking the smallest part of a code and checking it to ensure that it is functonjng as intended.

  2. Refactoring means that you change and (hopefully) improve the internal structure of the code without changing the behaviour of the code. For example, developers may change a piece of code in order to make the code run faster but still perform the same task. Why is unit testing important for refactoring?
    Unit testing allows developers to test small portions of code to ensure that changes or that the portion of codd functions as intended and does not produce a “bug” in the code.

  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    Bottom-up testing refers to a middle phase in software testing that involves taking integrated code units and testing them together, before testing an entire system or code base. Unit testing aids this process by testing the smallest part of the code during bottom up testing.

  1. What is Unit Testing?
    Unit testing is process of writing and running code that test individual parts of an application to ensure the application behaves correctly.

  2. Refactoring means that you change and (hopefully) improve the internal structure of the code without changing the behaviour of the code. For example, developers may change a piece of code in order to make the code run faster but still perform the same task. Why is unit testing important for refactoring?
    Because unit testing checks that the output of the methods or function is still correct after the change. If the refactoring causes a change in the behavior then unit testing can catch it.

  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    It helps by allowing each individual part of the application to be tested automatically and independently and then allows to test application as sum of its parts.

Testing a software’s single component for a desired output facilitates a much easier Integrated Software testing process for interacting units desired outcome - stands to reason that more component pairs or greater combination of Units are testing as a whole, the farther from finding the souorce offending error or module or location of the error

    The fact that the code changed is “dangerous” something might have gone wrong, so a unit testing is necessary to make sure the code is still running perfectly with the changes!
  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    We will firstly test one component of the code, then an other component, then an other etc… at the end we will sum them up and see if they work or not.

  • Unit testing is important to see and make sure that the code still perform with no unsuspected errors.

3.How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?

  • It reduces uncertainty. You test all the parts separately, from the the bottom so that they are
    performing the way you expected. Then you work your way up to test the sum of the program.

Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use. A unit is the smallest testable part of an application. In procedural programming a unit may be an individual function or procedure. Unit tests are created by programmers or occasionally by white box testers.

Because you can make sure the code still works after making changes to it.

As a developer you know what you want the code to achieve so you build tests first & before you build the application. This way you can ensure that the application is free from bugs/ it works. Following the “do the simplest thing that could possibly work” practice, the easiest solution that will make the test pass is shown below.

    Like this, small changes can be changed and tested in a very effective manner.

  1. It is testing one part of the applications code to ensure that it is running without bugs and as intended.
  2. When rewriting code it is very easy for another part of the application to stop working. Unit testing allows the developer to reduce those issues by allowing the developer to find any potential issues.
  3. If first you test the various parts of an application and then test the whole of the application developers are verifying from the bottom up that their code functions as intended.

A way to make sure the code outputs its expected result.

It makes sure that the code is running correctly and prevents errors and bug from happening.

Allows for easier integration of code yet still allows an application to work properly.
