Unit Testing - Reading Assignment

1)What is Unit Testing?
Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested, we test each module separately to determine if they are suitable for use.
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?
To ensure it still works like before without errors
3)How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
By testing the parts of a program first and then testing the sum of its parts, integration testing becomes much easier.

  1. Unit testing is a way to test the source code in its smalest testable parts to see if it is fit for use.

  2. Because to see that the module still runs without any issues and to be able to quickly find and isolate potential errors in the code.

  3. It makes integration testing much easier and it reduces uncertainty in the units themselves.

  1. Unit testing is a method which allows to test smallest piece of program/application and check are they fit to use nor have any bugs.

  2. Unit testing is important for refactoring (so change to improve a program) as it may verify if change does not have some negative influence on whole utility. It finds bugs and disorders in behavior of code…

  3. UT simplifies the whole process of integration as it explores the small parts of a code and then test the whole as a sum of its parts.

  • What is Unit Testing?

Unit testing tests the smallest pieces of code available to see if they are fit for use before integrating them into the overall system. It is a “bottom up” test methodology

  • 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 insures that the code still works as intended after refactoring to improve efficiency or otherwise.

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

Unit testing allows each piece of code to be tested independently before it is integrated into the larger code to insure it functions as a whole (or with the other components).

  1. Unit testing is testing individual parts of the code for a bug.
  2. In the case of refactoring, unit testing is important as it will allow the developers to have ready-made unit tests for each function to help quickly identify problems and facilitate any change in the source code.
  3. Unit testing can test the code simultaneously while it is getting developed. In unit testing we test parts of the code first and then the entire code, this makes integration easier.

  1. Unit testing serves the correctness of isolated smallest part as possible of the code

  2. By refractoring, unit testing helps ensuring the wanted optimization still works the previous code without error

  3. Unit testing gradually helps proofing the tiniest part of a programme allowing with sharpness about the orgin of any new error

  1. 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 i.e. function or procedure.

  2. Unit testing allows developers to test the code to see if the code correctly after they refracted the code. This testing style therefore facilitates optimisation.

  3. By reducing uncertainty in the quality of each unit in the source code, functions can be implemented in the bottom up integration style and maintain confidence in their source code.

  1. Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code - (smallest testable part of an application) are tested to see if they are fit for use; for example, test of the server code, the API or the client application. Mainly, unit tests ensure that specific units perform correctly and continue to do so when any changes are made to the code.

  2. Because any form of change in code can effect behavioral changes in the application. Hence, unit testing ensures that refactoring does not alter the originally intended behavior of the application. And if it does, can be detected during tests and corrected.

  3. Units testing ensures that individual components work correctly and continue to do so while being developed; this simplifies integration, reducing uncertainty in the units themselves and helps in bottom-up testing approach.

  1. Unit Testing is a type of testing which is done by software developers in which the smallest testable module of an application - like functions, procedures or interfaces - are tested to ascertain if they are fit to use.
  2. Unit Testing is important for refactoring as when improving the internal structure of an existing program’s source code, it is essential to preserve its external behavior, i.e. how the application is supposed to run.
  3. Unit Testing helps the bottom-up testing approach because by testing the parts of a program first and then testing the sum of its parts, integration testing becomes much easier. Therefore, Unit Testing finds problems early in the development cycle of an application.

Unit tests will continue to accurately reflect the intended use of the executable and code in the face of any change. Depending upon established development practices and unit test coverage, up-to-the-second accuracy can be maintained

  1. What is Unit Testing?
    Unit testing is a method which individual parts (units) of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use.

  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 is important for refactoring as it facilitates optimization by allowing developers to test the code and see the code output after they refracted the code.

  3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
    Unit testing helps the bottom-up testing approach by testing individual units in the code before the sum of the code. This makes integration much easier.

1). Unit testing is an approach in which, individual units of source code are tested for precision output. Unit testing is written and used by software developers to test that the code gives the output it should.

2). A software programmer could accidentally change how the program functions and behaves when refactoring code. Unit testing on refactoring code is essential for the entire program to function normally.

3). Testing the parts ( Units ) of the software program first, then the sum of the parts, integration testing is simplified.

  1. It is the individual testing of separate elements of source code with a view to finding problems in functionality.

  2. Because it ensures that all components of the code are working properly after a change has been implemented.

  3. By taking parts of a program to test each separately and then testing the sum o the parts all together.

  2. To make sure that nothing breaks in the server. If devs change or update something in API it might affect things across the code base in some other areas.
  3. Unit test find problems early in the development cycle. It allows to solve the issue before and helps to integrate easily.

  1. Systematic testing of the expected outputs of a building-block or unit of the code. Ideally all possible parameters local to the testing app and no communication with other units is neccessary, ie. units can be tested in isolation.
  2. All components can be individually tested after a change to one, therefore the source and effect of any error introduced by the change can hopefully be localized. (Although I admit, I do not understand how unit isolation allows for catching errors caused in components other than the one where the change was introduced.)
  3. By verifying that individual pieces of the code are working as intended. Any remaining errors need to be caught in the integration testing.
