Automated testing is a crucial aspect of software development, yet it can be a daunting task for many programmers. This book aims to demystify the process of writing automated tests and provide readers with a solid understanding of automated testing principles that they can immediately apply to their work projects.
The book is designed for individual reading and for collaborative workshops. It begins by introducing the xUnit automated test framework, which is a popular choice for JavaScript developers. Readers will learn how to build an xUnit test framework from scratch, starting with a clone of Jest, a popular JavaScript testing library.
As the book progresses, readers will explore the philosophy behind automated testing best practices. They will learn about the importance of writing clear and concise test cases, the benefits of behavior-driven development (BDD), and the use of test doubles and mocks.
Each chapter of the book focuses on a single feature of the xUnit test framework, such as the it function or the beforeEach block. Readers will learn how to use these features effectively in their own test suites and how to extend them to meet their specific testing needs.
The book culminates in an implementation of test doubles and mocks, one of the most difficult and misunderstood concepts within automated testing. Readers will learn how to use test doubles and mocks to create realistic test environments and how to effectively isolate and test their code.
By the end of the book, readers will have gained a solid understanding of automated testing principles that they can immediately apply to their work projects. They will have built an xUnit automated test framework, learned how to use test doubles and mocks, and gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of automated testing in software development.
Whether you are a seasoned software developer or a newcomer to the field, this book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master the art of automated testing.
