The 3 Types of Unit Test in TDD

Video Description

Test Driven Development (TDD) and Unit Testing aren't necessarily the same thing, but they both produce unit tests. In either case there are only really three unit test types. In this episode, Dave Farley, author of "Continuous Delivery" and "Modern Software Engineering" explores some of the nuts and bolts of TDD and how to put it to use in your software engineering approach. This TDD tutorial explores the three types of test with some simple examples to demonstrate each one. It then goes on to explore the difference between stubs, fakes, spies and mocks in testing and describe some common difficulties that people sometimes face. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🖇 LINKS: 🔗 https://osherove.com/blog/2005/4/3/naming-standards-for-unit-tests.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📚 BOOKS: 🚨 MY NEW BOOK! 👉 📖 Dave’s NEW BOOK "Modern Software Engineering" is now available on Amazon ➡️ https://amzn.to/3DwdwT3 In this book, Dave brings together his ideas and proven techniques to describe a durable, coherent and foundational approach to effective software development, for programmers, managers and technical leads, at all levels of experience. 📖 "Continuous Delivery Pipelines" by Dave Farley paperback ➡️ https://amzn.to/3gIULlA ebook version ➡️ https://leanpub.com/cd-pipelines 📖 The original, award-winning "Continuous Delivery" book by Dave Farley and Jez Humble ➡️ https://amzn.to/2WxRYmx NOTE: If you click on one of the Amazon Affiliate links and buy the book, Continuous Delivery Ltd. will get a small fee for the recommendation with NO increase in cost to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also from Dave: 🚨 MY TDD COURSE AVAILABLE NOW! 🚨 Learn to write great tests, and how to use those tests to improve the design of your software: with step-by-step guidance and demos by Dave Farley, and practical exercises for you to learn TDD and BDD.
