Learning Modular Java Programming

By: Tejaswini Mandar Jog

Overview of this book

Modular programming means dividing an application into small parts and then developing it. It is an approach taken by developers to build applications and helps them add efficiency in their development process, thus making it more effective. The book starts with the fundamentals of Modular Programming. Then we move on to the actual implementation, where we teach developers how to divide an application into different modules or layers (such as presentation, execution, security, lifecycle, services, and so on) for better management. Once readers are well-versed in these modules and their development, the book shows how to create bindings in order to join these different modules and form a complete application. Next, the readers will learn how to manage these modules through dependency injection. Later, we move on to testing; readers will learn how to test the different modules of an application. The book ends by teaching readers how to maintain different versions of their application and how to modify it. By the end of the book, readers will have a good understanding of modular programming and will be able to use it to build applications with Java.

Chapter 6. Testing Your Application

Any application which has completed its development will proceed to the next step of verifying whether the application is actually working. This phase is very important as it is where we ensure the correctness of the product and try to find any flaws in development which may have been overlooked at the time of writing the code. This phase is technically called testing. But now the meaning, implementation, and importance have been changed a lot. We are going to explore testing, the involvement of testing in writing good code, the role of the developer in testing, and much more.

In this chapter, we are going to explore the following topics:

  • What is testing?

  • The different phases involved in testing an application

  • How to test JavaEE applications

  • The use of JUnit/Mockito//

  • Introduction to Arqullian testing
