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.

Summary

The starting point for the test design should be the list of requirements. If these requirements have not been formally elicited, at least we need to know the SUT features, which reflects the software needs. From this point, several strategies can be carried out. As usual, there is no unique path to reach our goal, which in the end should be reducing the risks of the project.

This chapter reviewed a process aimed to create effective and efficient tests cases. This process involves the analysis of requirements, definition of a test plan, design of test cases, and finally writing the test cases. We should be aware that, even though software testing is technical task, it involves some important considerations of human psychology. These factors should be known by software engineers and testers in order to follow know best practices and also avoiding common mistakes.
