Testing is an essential part of the software development life cycle. A good automated testing suite streamlines feedback, allowing rapid creation and tight control over specific application components. This course is a comprehensive introduction to testing Elixir applications with ExUnit. You’ll start with a review of unit testing principles before diving into writing tests with the ExUnit. You’ll build a comprehensive suite of unit tests before moving on to more advanced testing, including integration, end-to-end, and property-baste testing. In addition to the core Elixir environment, you’ll also develop tests for OTP, the Phoenix web framework, including JSON APIs and Ecto schematics. You’ll also explore refactoring for different platforms, server rendering, and design strategies.
