Why do I need a unit testing tool?
You could probably meet the deadlines and test the logic behind every LOC. When dealing with a function that incorporates multiple logic paths and various edge cases, the traditional approach of cluttering the function with numerous assert statements for different scenarios can lead to code bloat. This not only makes the code harder to read…

How to Do Java Unit Testing Effectively
Java unit testing is a process used by developers to test individual components of a Java application. It helps ensure that each piece of code, or unit, functions correctly on its own. By isolating each unit testing it independently, developers can identify and fix issues early, improving the overall quality of the application. So, are…

This has been a common question I have encountered many times – when limited in time and resources, what kind of testing should be done? Weighing up such factors can be difficult, especially given that usually only one…

Go Mocks and Stubs generator Made Easy
Testing code that talks to the network, APIs, databases, external services, is where a lot of test-writing time quietly disappears. The logic you actually want to check is simple, but standing up realistic responses for every dependency is not. This post walks through why that happens and how a Go mocks and stubs generator that…

What is unit testing anyways?
Introduction Unit testing is a technique that emphasizes testing a particular piece of code. It is mainly done to check the functionality of a block of code, that is, to confirm the code does what you expect it to do. But does that mean we have to test every functionality individually? An application has numerous…
