GOALS

This skills-centric course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core unit testing skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:

  • Understand what unit testing is and what it is not intended to cover
  • Understand JUnit 5.
  • Understand and use the JUnit Test Runner interface.
  • Use JUnit to drive the implementation of Java code.
  • Test applications using native IDE support.
  • Best practices and patterns for unit testing.
  • Understand JUnit’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Understand the role of debugging when done in conjunction with tests.
  • Understand not only the fundamentals of the TDD using Java, but also its importance, uses, strengths and weaknesses.
  • Understand how JUnit affects your perspective on development and increases your focus on a task.
  • Learn good JUnit coding style.
  • Create well-structured JUnit programs.
  • Understand how JUnit testing can be used for either state-based or interaction-based testing.
  • How to extend testing with mock objects using Mockito.
  • Look at refactoring techniques available to make code as reusable/robust as possible.
  • Discuss various testing techniques.

The following JUnit-based testing frameworks are examined:

  • JUnit 5, Mockito, PowerMock
