Understanding the Different Types of Automated Test
Understand the key types of automated tests including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Learn their roles, benefits, and trade-offs in maintaining app quality and reliability in single-page applications built with React and ASP.NET Core.
We'll cover the following...
A robust suite of automated tests helps us deliver software faster without sacrificing its quality. There are various types of test, though each type has its own benefits and challenges. We are going to understand the different types of test and the benefits they bring to a single-page application.
The following diagram shows the three different types of test:
In the following subsections, we will examine each type of test, along with their pros and cons.
Unit tests
Unit tests verify that individual and isolated parts of an app work as expected. These tests generally execute very fast, thus giving us a very tight feedback loop so that we know the part of the app that we are developing is working correctly. ...
