Unit Testing

Unit Testing is the smallest testable part of the software.  It may be a function, Class, procedure and the Interface. In Unit Testing individual unit of source code are tested to determine whether they are fit for use.

Unit Testing is the short source code testing which is done by programmer or done by white box tester during the development process. This testing mode is component of Extreme Programming (XP), which means developing a product with continuous testing and revisions.



In the Unit Testing, developer think only about the unit which is under test. If any error occur then they fix it as per the Unit without thinking about the effect over other unit. Once every unit fix or error free then on integration we concern about the effects.

Unit Testing finds problem early in the development phase. These bugs may be because of the flow that development are using or any missing part in the specification. The cost of finding the bugs in Unit Testing phase is lower if bugs found in later stages so Unit Testing is very important phase of Testing as per the cost.

Unit Testing allow the programmer to upgrade system in later stage means unit testing allow the user to change the code if needed. Unit Testing make the system less interdependent so the changes on one unit reduces the error in other units.

Unit Testing simplifies the Integration Testing. It uses the bottom up testing approach. First tested the Unit and them complete modules so possibility of errors is reduces.

Unit Testing is the part of documentation. Developer look at the document and as per the document write the code.

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

How to Put Load on a Script in JMeter

In last post we discussed about how to record a test script and Firefox settings to run the script. In this post we will discuss about how the Thread Group will work, how can we put n number of users to perform load testing, In JMeter by using Thread Group, we can create virtual users. Thread Group is a set of thread which work in same scenario. There are multiple thread group are available which is use to configure how the virtual users interest with the application, How much load maintain and till how much time load maintain.

Why testing is necessary?

Before start learning of Testing i would like to ask one thing - why testing is necessary? In each and every field 'Testing' is the important phase of product development cycle. Without testing no one ensure the quality of the product. The product can be anything it may be a Car, a Machine, a Medicine , a Software etc, it need to fully tested. Only after testing you can say the product that you build have good quality. Only after testing you can release your product in market. if you release your product in market without testing then it may be possible that your product have serious issue that cause the negative effect on your business. So Testing on important. Now we talk about the Testing importance in Software Development. Testing is necessary because everyone makes mistakes and sometimes these errors are expensive or dangerous. Testing is required to test every part because things can always go wrong. Today is the market of Internet and if you leave any mist...
