Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with Kotlin

By: Abid Khan, Igor Kucherenko

Overview of this book

Kotlin is an object-oriented programming language. The book is based on the latest version of Kotlin. The book provides you with a thorough understanding of programming concepts, object-oriented programming techniques, and design patterns. It includes numerous examples, explanation of concepts and keynotes. Where possible, examples and programming exercises are included. The main purpose of the book is to provide a comprehensive coverage of Kotlin features such as classes, data classes, and inheritance. It also provides a good understanding of design pattern and how Kotlin syntax works with object-oriented techniques. You will also gain familiarity with syntax in this book by writing labeled for loop and when as an expression. An introduction to the advanced concepts such as sealed classes and package level functions and coroutines is provided and we will also learn how these concepts can make the software development easy. Supported libraries for serialization, regular expression and testing are also covered in this book. By the end of the book, you would have learnt building robust and maintainable software with object oriented design patterns in Kotlin.

Types of testing

There are many different types of testing that can be applied to make sure that an application works as expected. Different approaches provide different results, depending on what exactly we want to test. In general, we can divide these into two groups:

  • Manual testing
  • Automated testing

Manual testing

Manual testing is performed by someone who interacts with an application by clicking and checking the application programming interface using special tools, such as Charles (https://www.charlesproxy.com/). This tool is a proxy that makes it possible to view all HTTP and HTTPS traffic between a client application and a server.

The main window of this tool looks as follows:

Manual testing is expensive as it requires...
