Have you ever bumped into a wall with your automated tests? Many developers bump into various roadblocks and hurdles when writing test code. Are your test methods starting to fail because the code-under-test uses the current date and time? Are your automated integration tests failing because the database they integrate …
Flakey. Non-deterministic. Unreliable. These are all terms commonly associated with end-to-end testing. At WalmartLabs, we knew that building a Continuous Delivery pipeline depends on a test automation system that’s totally reliable. Any perceived flakyness in the system would erode developer confidence in our tools. But when non-deterministic behavior emerges, how …
This videoo talks about Unit Testing for database projects and how it integrates with the DevOps pipeline. It presents how the open source test framework Slacker works with SSDT, SQL Server 2016 (or SQL Database on Azure) and Visual Studio 2017 to enable database unit testing. You will also learn …
To get the most out of Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), Specification by Example (SBE) or Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD), you need much more than a tool. You need high value specifications. How do we get the most out of our specification and test writing effort? How do we write testable …
ScalaTest is a popular open source testing tool in the Scala ecosystem. In ScalaTest 3.0’s new async testing styles, tests have a result type of Future[Assertion]. Instead of blocking until a future completes, then performing assertions on the result, you map assertions onto the future and return the resulting Future[Assertion] …
Although nearly every development team uses some form of code review, code reviews are frequently used only among developers. Other developers are certainly a valuable audience for your code, but nondevelopers can also add value by applying their own perspectives to the work as early in the process as possible.
