Mastering Software Testing with JUnit 5

By: Boni Garcia

Overview of this book

When building an application it is of utmost importance to have clean code, a productive environment and efficient systems in place. Having automated unit testing in place helps developers to achieve these goals. The JUnit testing framework is a popular choice among Java developers and has recently released a major version update with JUnit 5. This book shows you how to make use of the power of JUnit 5 to write better software. The book begins with an introduction to software quality and software testing. After that, you will see an in-depth analysis of all the features of Jupiter, the new programming and extension model provided by JUnit 5. You will learn how to integrate JUnit 5 with other frameworks such as Mockito, Spring, Selenium, Cucumber, and Docker. After the technical features of JUnit 5, the final part of this book will train you for the daily work of a software tester. You will learn best practices for writing meaningful tests. Finally, you will learn how software testing fits into the overall software development process, and sits alongside continuous integration, defect tracking, and test reporting.

REST

Roy Fielding is an American computer scientist born in 1965. He is one of the authors of the HTTP protocol and the co-authors of the Apache Web server. In the year 2000, Fielding coined the term REST (short for REpresentational State Transfer) in his doctoral dissertation entitled Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architecture. REST is an architectural style for designing distributed systems. It’s not a standard, but rather a set of constraints. REST is commonly used in conjunction with HTTP. On the one hand, the implementations which follows the strict principles of REST are often referred as RESTful. On the other hand, those which follow a loose adherence of such principles are called RESTlike.
