Unit testing is a type of testing or the technique to take the smallest piece of testable code isolated from the remaining software in the application and then determine whether it behaves as expected. Enterprise software applications usually comprises of multiple methods and functions with multiple lines of code integrated together. Identifying the piece of code that produces the defect is always a time-consuming task and the cost involved is also high. It is always a good practice to test the code in units and confirm the expectations before integrating the code module(s). Requiring all code to pass the unit tests before they can be integrated ensures standards and quality. It is the responsibility of the developer who has written the code to make sure that each unit of code behaves exactly as expected. The code should also be written in such a way that it can be tested independently. Another advantage is that every time a defect is fixed or code is modified, you...
