1.Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use. its a method that instantiates a small portion of our application and verifies its behavior independently from other parts.
2.Its important so the integration of all components of the code will work properly.
3.So everything continues to work while being developed.
A method where individual units of source code are tested, to see whether they are ready for use or not yet.
2.
Easier for the programmer to check if the pieces of code are working properly.
3.
Testing the parts of a program first and then testing the sum of its parts, makes testing easier.
Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use.
One of the benefits of having unit tests is so you can confidently refactor. If the refactoring does not change the public interface then you leave the unit tests as is and ensure after refactoring they all pass. If the refactoring does change the public interface then the tests should be rewritten first. Refactor until the new tests pass. I would never avoid any refactoring because it breaks the tests. Writing unit tests can be a pain in a butt but its worth the pain in the long run.
Bottom-up testing is an approach to integrated testing where the lowest level components are tested first, then used to facilitate the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until the component at the top of the hierarchy is tested.
What is Unit Testing?
is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use.
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 it makes easy to fix the bugs and makes easier to integrate
How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
Testing the parts before and then testing the total it becomes much easier to understand how the software may work more properly.
1. What is Unit Testing?
Unit testing is a procedure which consists of running tests on individual units to check their good functionality.
2. Refactoring means that you change and (hopefully) improve the internal structure of the code without changing the behavior 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 allows developers to easily check if each piece of code is still working properly after modifying a code.
3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
By testing each part of a program separately before testing them all together. This approach makes it easier and faster to identify a possible code error.
Unit Testing is a method of testing individual units of code making sure they are good for use.
Unit Testing is important for refactoring because it is essential that the updated code still functions with the program on a macro level and there are no new errors.
Unit testing assures that each component works and continues to work while being developed, updated and revised. Writing the test procedures before designing the application code, can help structure the application itself.
What is Unit Testing?
It is the testing of the smallest unit of an integrated system. You test the each unit individually first (unit testing), then you test part of or all the units together (integrated testing).
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 is important to ensure that the behavior of the improved/modified unit is still the same as the previous version. If the new unit passes the same test the previous unit passed, the level of confidence the new unit will pass the integrated test is increased.
How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
Bottom-up testing approach : from the smallest units (modules) to the whole program.
The integrated test is design to catch integration errors or broader system-level errors, but will be influenced by unintended unit behaviors.
By testing the behavior of each unit individually and making sure it works as specified, you increase the odds of having a successful integrated test and simplify its troubleshooting if some sub-tests fail.
What is Unit Testing?
It is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to check their fitness for purpose.
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 is important because it allows the programmer to refactor code at a later date, and make sure the module still works correctly (e.g., in regression testing). The procedure is to write test cases for all functions and methods so that whenever a change causes a fault, it can be quickly identified and fixed.
How does Unit Testing help 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.
Unit testing is a technique where the smallest individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are suitable.
Since we test each unit separately, unit tests continue to precisely replicate the proposed use of the software and code even with refactoring.
It reduces the uncertainty by testing the small individual parts and then the whole to determine whether it all works.

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 any change that is made to existing code can break other things. By running unit tests issues can be quickly identified.
3. How does Unit Testing help the bottom-up testing approach?
Test the parts of a program first and then the sum of its parts. This allows for integration testing to become much easier.
1
It’s an important part of software development. The unit testing software examines very small part of the developing program and give it inputs and examine the outputs comparing to the expected results.
2
Because the unit testing highlights the component behaving in a different manner as before the upgrade.
3
Because it reduces uncertainty in the units. Also, unit testing follows the same approch: As the project grows, a test of all the programmed units is done.
Unit testing consists of testing small parts of your source code to make sure that they run well as stand alone components.
When refactoring code you could potentially get rid of one bug and introduce another (or several). Because of this possibility when refactoring source code that code should always be unit tested after the refactoring process is complete, in order to make sure the refactoring process worked and no new bugs were introduced. It should also be done just to make sure that the original bug was also fixed.
Unit testing helps with the bottom-up approach because if all of the units of a whole work on their own, it becomes much easier to fix any issues once you move onto the next step of integration testing.
