What is Unit Testing
In DevOps environments, the main goal is to bring software to production as quickly as possible. To achieve this, automating these processes is key. Within an automated development chain, quality is very important. To guarantee quality, it is crucial that feedback about the software is delivered quickly and as often as possible; test automation enables this. A good unit test set is essential because unit testing is the fastest and most stable way of test automation. Are you a developer or tester with Java knowledge and do you want to take unit testing to a higher level? Then this is the training for you! During this training, you will learn:
- Which things do you test with a unit test?
- And what does that look like.
- Best practices
- The art of “mocking” Pair programming is a very effective method to improve quality. In this training course, developers and testers collaborate on assignments. In this way, you will not only learn from the trainer but also from each other.
The expertise of our trainers enriches theoretical concepts with practical applications, offering real-world insights and best practices. This training emphasizes the quality of unit tests from both developer and tester perspectives, establishing a solid foundation for your test automation. Furthermore, it fosters collaboration between developers and testers, enabling them to learn from each other’s specialties and apply this cooperation effectively in practice.
