Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java 8 with JUnit
Explore writing unit tests for Java applications using JUnit, delve into JUnit organization, assertions, quality practices, design relevance, refactoring, and using mock objects for dependencies.
In this course, you will learn how to write a unit test for Java applications using JUnit. You'll start by covering unit-testing foundations, which provide you with a starter set of information about writing basic tests in JUnit. You’ll learn about JUnit organization and assertions, and you’ll pick up a few core quality practices for unit testing such as the Right BICEP and the CORRECT way.
Towards the end, the bigger design picture focuses on the relevance of design to unit testing and vice versa. You’ll refactor your tests, and you’ll learn how to use mock objects to deal with trouble-some dependencies.
